Facebook recently came up with a group calling feature in its Messenger app. Most of the world is working from home and Facebook could not stay behind in the provision of a platform that makes it easier. On 14th May, Mark Zuckerberg announced the launch of Messenger Rooms worldwide. Initially, the feature was only available on Facebook’s messaging app, allowing up to 50 people to join a room at the same time. However, other social networking apps under Facebook’s hood were announced to get the same feature soon. Accordingly came two weeks after Messenger Rooms’ launch, its integration in Instagram.
As easy as it is to create a Messenger Room on Facebook, Instagram does not make any more difficult. Making a Room is as easy as starting an Instagram Direct video chat. Messenger Rooms on Instagram is still, originally, a Facebook feature. Therefore, starting a Room on Instagram will simply move one to a room created in Messenger.
