Facebook Messenger

- Overview

Facebook Messenger offers a free and convenient solution for group video conferencing, making it a viable option for personal and casual group interactions.

Here are some key aspects:

• No Time Limit: You can conduct group video calls for as long as you like without any time restrictions.
• Participant Capacity: You can include up to 50 people in a Messenger Room video conference.
• Data Usage: While the service itself is free, the video call will consume data, especially if you are using a cellular data plan instead of Wi-Fi. The amount of data consumed varies depending on the quality of the video and the stability of your internet connection.
• Availability: Messenger's video chat feature is available through the Messenger mobile apps (iOS and Android) and the Facebook website.
• Privacy Features: Messenger Rooms include privacy controls, allowing the room creator to choose who can see and join, kick people out, and lock the room to prevent new entrants.

To start a Messenger group video call

• Open an existing group chat or start a new one.
• Tap the video camera icon located at the top right of the chat window.
• Everyone in the group will be notified and can join the video call with a single tap.
