Facebook launches Messenger Rooms for unlimited video calls with up to 50 people Today Facebook has unveiled its response to the crazy growth of Zoom over the past few weeks of the COVID-19 related lockdowns happening pretty much worldwide. Facebook Messenger already had video chat functionality, but it was limited both in the total number of people allowed to participate, and also in its requirement that all of them have a Facebook account. With the new Messenger Rooms, that changes. First up, you can host video chats of up to 50 people, and those who don't have a Facebook account can still join - they'll receive a link to the Room you have created. With one click they can then join the conversation - just like with Zoom. Importantly, Messenger Rooms has no time limit whatsoever. If you join a Room through the Messenger app, then you can play with AR effects and new features like immersive backgrounds and mood lighting. The creator of a Room chooses who can see and ...

Given how Facebook positions WhatsApp as a messaging service to your closest friends and family, the extended ...

The Mi 10 Pro is a proper flagship and a worthy addition to the iconic series. But it is also much more. Previous Mi phones carefully matched cherry-picked flagship features with a reasonable price tag. But with the Mi 10 Pro, the maker has gone all-in - no limits, no restrictions - it's the complete package top to bottom.
