San Francisco: Taking on Zoom and other video conferencing apps like Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, Facebook has rolled out its group video chat Messenger Rooms globally that allows free video calls with up to 50 people with no time limit.
Rooms can be created right from Messenger or Facebook and gives people the ability to share links to invite anyone to join, even if they don't have a Facebook account.

"You can start and share rooms on Facebook through News Feed, Groups and Events, so it's easy for you to drop by whenever you want. You can choose who can see and join your room or remove people from your room and lock the room if you don't want anyone else to join," explained Stan Chudnovsky, VP of Messenger.
For Facebook's business, Messenger Rooms is an opportunity to realign its messaging products as popular video chat alternatives like Zoom.
Facebook users globally can create a room from Messenger, and users in North America can create a room from Facebook.
"We're also starting to roll out the ability to host up to 50 people in a room globally," Chudnovsky said in a statement. "Or allow any person within the group to create a room. To help admins keep their communities safe, admins will have the ability to delete any video chat room," said Facebook.
