Facebook’s Zoom alternative Messenger Rooms finally available worldwide; here’s how to start group video call

Last month, Facebook announced to bring the Zoom video app alternative, Messenger Rooms, a group video call feature to its messenger app. Now, it is finally available worldwide on both iOS and Android platforms.

Facebook Messengers users just need to update their app to get the Rooms feature. With this, users can invite up to 50 people for a video conference with them. To make the chat lively, it offers AR effects like bunny ears, and new AI-powered features like immersive 360 backgrounds and mood lighting.

Most importantly, when the user creates a room, he/she can choose who can see and join it. The app user can also remove people from the call and lock a room if they don’t want anyone else to enter.
