WhatsApp for Web gets Messenger Rooms support: How it works, official launch, and more

Last month Facebook announced a host of new features to deliver a seamless experience to users. From Messenger Rooms to extending WhatsApp group call limit to eight to Instagram group live feature, Facebook is slowly rolling out all these new features globally. With Messenger Rooms, Facebook aims to take on the likes of other video calling platforms such as the popular Zoom, Google Hangouts, Skype and many others.

Amid the coronavirus lockdown, video calling platforms have become the lifeline for people working from home or living far away from their families. Platforms like Zoom, Google Duo, Skype, Google Hangouts and others have received a great response for users across the world. The latest report coming from Sensor Tower suggests that in April 2020 Zoom is the most downloaded app in the world, and it’s India that accounted for maximum downloads despite the Indian government warning people to not use Zoom due to privacy issues.

To compete with Zoom and other similar platforms Facebook introduced Messenger Rooms last month via a Facebook Live. At the time of announcing the feature and some other Facebook CEO  Mark Zuckerberg said that Messenger Rooms will be supported across WhatsApp, Instagram, and also Portal. This is the first sign of Facebook working towards integrating Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram as suggested in the past. The idea behind integrating the platforms is to offer a seamless experience to users all across Facebook family apps.
