It also doesn’t fix one of the biggest problems of video conferencing apps in general, which is automatically muting people who aren’t speaking. That’s one of the most popular collaboration tools for presenters, including teachers and tutors. While it’s great for smaller groups, you can’t share screens and it doesn’t have Zoom’s handy whiteboard feature built-in to it. The new Messenger app is also focused on personal connections versus business meetings. It helps to know you’re not doing anything embarrassing on camera, but it’s “odd to have it outside the main box.” You can click on an arrow and hide your own face from your own screen, but everyone I tested it wants to keep seeing their own image. It appears on the lower right of the screen, slightly outside of the main chat window, instead of all neat and tidy Brady Bunch style in the same box.
Several of us commented on the placement of our own video window.
There are GIFS available now, with backgrounds, AR filters, and the ability to add more than eight people, “coming soon.” You can also use the new Messenger for Desktop to video chat with people using Messenger on mobile devices or children using Messenger Kids. It works across devices, iOS, Android, different browsers, and Facebook’s Portal screens. You can get a total of eight people in one video call: Open a new message window, click the contacts you want to add and click the video symbol in the upper right-hand corner. You don’t need to know anyone’s email or phone number, the text chatting, calling and video features are there, for people you’ve already approved as Facebook friends, so no stranger can crash-in unexpectedly. Click on that icon in your toolbar and it opens up the same Messenger window you’re used to, but reimagined for the big screen. Sign-in, set notification preferences, and the small logo appears in your toolbar.
