How to create Messenger Rooms via WhatsApp mobile app, desktop app or web

Due to the growing demand for video calling platforms during the Coronavirus pandemic, **Facebook introduced Messenger Rooms** for users. This service allows up to 50 participants. In addition to this, users can even join and place these video calls via Instagram and WhatsApp. The users joining the call do not necessarily need to have an account on Facebook to attend a video call on Messenger Rooms. WhatsApp users can create Messenger Rooms on both the mobile and desktop app, and the web app. [caption id=“attachment_8405221” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”]  Messenger Rooms[/caption]
