A new WhatsApp feature has been unveiled. In a bid to make its messaging platform more user-friendly, Facebook-owned instant messaging application WhatsApp has introduced a new feature called the ‘Messenger Room’ which allows users to carry out a group video call with up to 50 people simultaneously.
According to the messaging platform, a user can create rooms where larger groups can collectively be on a video chat by using the Messenger app or by opening the Messenger website in mobile or web browser. The users can then send invite links to their contacts and group chats in WhatsApp so they can join these rooms, even if they don’t have a Facebook account or the Messenger app.
Here’s how to Create and share a room link:
Open WhatsApp Web or Desktop
Go to the individual chat you want to select for the video call
Tap on the attachments icon on the screen
Click on the ‘Rooms’ option
Tap on the ’Continue in Messenger’ option.
The WhatsApp application will send you a link that you can send to your contacts so that they can join the same room by simply clicking on that particular link. The ‘Messenger Room’ feature will only work for groups that have more than five members.
