In the past few months, WhatsApp has introduced several new features to provide a seamless experience for users. One feature that WhatsApp will soon add to its app is support for Messenger Rooms which will allow users to use the recently launched Messenger Rooms feature on Facebook directly from WhatsApp. A few weeks ago, Facebook introduced Messenger Rooms to support popular video conferencing platforms, including Zoom, Google Meet, Skype and more.

The Messenger Rooms feature is now available to everyone, including users in India. For a seamless experience, Facebook announced that the Messenger Rooms option will be available on WhatsApp so that users can directly make group calls with friends on Facebook. The option is already available for some users and should be deployed very soon to all users around the world.

WhatsApp Messenger Rooms: How to use

According to a report from WABetaInfo, the Messenger Rooms option is now already available for some WhatsApp users. The functionality comes with the beta version of WhatsApp Messenger iOS 1.20.52.6. The report suggests that some iOS beta users in the latest version have received the WhatsApp Messenger Rooms shortcut. However, the report noted that the shortcut is only available in a few countries at the moment.

The report says that the WhatsApp Messenger Rooms shortcut is available in the “attachment picker”. It is listed with photo and video library, document, location, contact options. There is a separate option called “Room”. To start WhatsApp, users must open a chat and click on the “Room” option. “After pressing the Room shortcut, WhatsApp will present an alert to introduce the functionality.” Users will then need to click the Continue option in Messenger to add people and start a group video call.

Last week, the beta version 2.20.139 of WhatsApp deployed support for message rooms to select Android users. Since some beta users have started receiving the functionality, we can expect the official launch to occur very soon.

Also for Android, the functionality works similarly. Users will only have to click on the camera icon in the chat box and the “Room” option will be available right next to options such as Documents, Gallery, etc. By clicking on the Room option, the Facebook Messenger Rooms window opens. Users will be able to add friends to start the video call. Messenger Rooms supports 50 participants at a time and it’s free.

WhatsApp has been testing the functionality for several weeks now, suggesting that the official launch is near. The instant messaging platform has not yet revealed the timetable for deploying the Messenger Rooms feature on WhatsApp. Here’s how to use Messenger rooms.
