How to use Messenger Rooms
The support will allow WhatsApp Web users to make calls directly through Messenger Rooms. The users can start the group video call or Messenger Rooms call from either WhatsApp or Messenger. The feature will also ask users if they wish to create a room from WhatsApp or wish to head over to Facebook Messenger to create the room.
The hosts of the Messenger Rooms call will be able to invite anyone and everyone they want to join the video conference. To join the video chat a person needn’t have a Facebook account or be friends with the host on Facebook. The feature allows 50 people to stay connected over video calls at the same time.
It is still unclear when the Messenger Rooms support will arrive for WhatsApp users.
