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.


They 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.


Step 1: Open WhatsApp Web or Desktop


Step 2: Go to the individual chat you want to select for the video call.


Step 3: Tap on the attachments icon on the screen


Step 4: Click on the ‘Rooms’ option


Step 5: Tap on the ’Continue in Messenger’ option


Step 6: The 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.
