WhatsApp new feature: Support for Messenger Rooms soon

Facebook’s Messenger Rooms is by far one of the biggest launches by the tech company this year. Owing to lockdowns being imposed across the globe, Facebook launched a new platform to incorporate up to 50 people in a single video conference. The company started rolling out the feature to Messenger users in phases and is finally testing its compatibility with WhatsApp.

Messenger Rooms, as the name suggests will allow users to participate in video conference rooms by inviting members across different platforms. One of the biggest features of the new service is that the platform allows people who don’t even have a Facebook account to participate in calls. This can be done by inviting people through a link.
