Today Facebook revealed its answer to the crazy development of Zoom. Brings the Messenger Room with unlimited calls and video conferencing to up to 50 people.
In recent weeks our lives revolve around the covid-19 pandemic. Others have lost money and others have found the opportunity to grow. This is also the case with Zoom which saw its traffic literally skyrocket, despite his problems. Giving to free its service features for unlimited calls, unlimited time and groups of 100 people "killed" all its rivals. Facebook has a similar service, but it is limited in both the total number of people allowed to participate and its requirement that everyone have account on Facebook. That changes with Messenger Rooms.
It seems that Facebook has decided, even in the middle of the pandemic, hit Zoom and thus brings Messenger Rooms with the ability to host video chats of up to 50 people. In fact, those who do not have a Facebook account can participate, as they can now receive a link to the "Room" you have created. With one click they can then join the conversation, as with zoom. Also Messenger Rooms has no time limit.
Εάν συμμετάσχετε σε μια αίθουσα μέσω της εφαρμογής Messenger Rooms, τότε μπορείτε να παίξετε με AR εφέ και νέες λειτουργίες, όπως φόντο της αρεσκείας σας και φωτισμό διάθεσης. Ο δημιουργός ενός δωματίου επιλέγει ποιος μπορεί να δει και να συμμετάσχει σε αυτό και μπορεί να αφαιρέσει οποιονδήποτε, ανά πάσα στιγμή, καθώς και να κλειδώσει το δωμάτιο εάν δεν θέλει να εισέλθει κανένας άλλος. Και φυσικά μπορείτε να αφήσετε ένα δωμάτιο όποτε θέλετε. Τα δωμάτια που δημιουργείτε μέσω μιας Ομάδας Facebook είναι ανοιχτά από προchoice to the members of this Group.
Η mode "Rooms" is not end-to-end encrypted because "there are significant challenges" to providing such encryption for video calls with large groups of people. However, Facebook says it is working hard in this direction for the future. Meanwhile, the content of the room is encrypted between the participants and the Facebook servers. The company also promises (!!) that it doesn't monitor or listen to your audio or video calls.
Messenger Rooms launches "in some countries" this week and will expand worldwide "in the coming weeks".
