Facebook’s Messenger Rooms allow 50 people on a video call: All you need to know

Facebook entered the race for a complete video calling solution on Friday. The company’s CEO announced Messenger Rooms, a video conferencing tool that will allow up to 50 people to join in on a call. Unlike other chatting applications and tools, this new platform will even be available to people who are not on Facebook.

People who want to host a video conference will be able to do so by creating a room right from Messenger or Facebook and then invite anyone to join through links. The people joining these calls don’t need to have a Facebook account to take part. The company claims these calls will be able to accommodate up to 50 people.
