Facebook Messenger Rooms: We explain the new video chat

Video conferencing is hipper than ever in 2020. Facebook has also responded to the need and provides a solution with Messenger Rooms. Our guide explains the feature and its framework.

The whole world in video chat: Messenger Rooms is the answer to the most important trend in 2020.

The Corona crisis has catapulted the popularity of video chats to unprecedented heights. Numerous companies are now looking to capitalize on this, and Facebook is one of them.

How Facebook Messenger Rooms

Messenger Rooms can be summarized relatively quickly:

• You can start Rooms from both the Messenger app and the Facebook app.
• The person who creates the chat room then has full control over it, for things like invitations, exclusions, or ending the conference.
• The participant limit is 50 people. Invitations are made via link, so that even people without a Facebook account can participate. Other Facebook users can be invited directly in the social network by clicking.
• The duration of the conferences is unlimited.
• For a varied atmosphere in the video chat effects such as 360-degree backgrounds should provide. Via Ambient Lighting, the colors and lighting are adjusted to your face.

All in all, Messenger Rooms is thus another interesting option that offers everything needed for normal video conferences. It should be noted, however, that the application is not end-to-end encrypted, which could be a criterion for exclusion for users with a focus on privacy and data protection.
