With the confinement to the order of the day due to the coronavirus (COVID-19), the need to use social networks, video calls and instant messaging apps to keep family, friends and acquaintances in contact with each other has grown exponentially throughout this last couple of month, and Facebook, having launched Facebook Gaming, he knows.
Zoom is one of the video calling apps that has grown the most in popularity this year. It is increasingly known globally for its simplicity and excellent functionality, which allows up to 1.000 people to connect at the same time in the same video conference or video call, which is its main strength. However, you could share a piece of cake with Messenger Rooms, the new video calling function that has been made official and plans to be preferred by users.
Facebook Messenger Rooms connects up to 50 people at the same time in a video call
Although Facebook Messenger already had the function to make video calls, it only supports users with Facebook accounts and does not manage to support 50 people simultaneously. Other apps like Skype only support up to 10 participants, like Google Hangouts. Messenger Rooms is shown as another great alternative today that promises a very promising user experience.
Other great points of this new platform is the non-existence of a time limit for video calls and the lack of an account requirement. Users will be able to invite people to join the video call with a link to the created Room, similar to how it is done with Zoom. It is also possible to create rooms directly from Messenger and Facebook.
From this week it will be arriving in some countries. Then it will be expanded globally until it is fully available in all regions. It should also be noted that at first the video calls will not have end-to-end encryption, but this will be added later, as well as the Rooms function on WhatsApp and Instagram to access the platform from these.
Thank you for making home activity easier.
