Today, we shared a new way to feel directly connected with someone over video -- and announced new product updates across @messenger @facebookapp @instagram @whatsapp @facebookgaming and @portalfacebook (🧵)
Introducing Messenger Rooms, group video calls that you can start and share via @messenger @facebookapp and soon @instagram @whatsapp and @portalfacebook. We're testing Rooms in a few countries now and plan to roll it out globally in the coming weeks.
Messenger Rooms will hold up to 50 people with no time limit so you can drop in and spend time with friends, family and people who share your interests. You can discover Rooms from your Facebook friends, Groups and Events at the top of News Feed.
We're expanding @WhatsApp group video and voice calls to allow up to 8 people.
There are now over 800 million daily active users across Facebook and Instagram Live, and we're adding new features to make Lives even more useful. On @Instagram, we're bringing live videos to desktop and adding a feature that lets you save live videos to IGTV
On @facebookapp, we're bringing back Live With and have made it easier to donate and raise money directly in Live. You'll also be able to mark Facebook Events as online only and broadcast live to your guests. We're also exploring ways for Pages to charge for Live events.
You can now livestream games on the @FacebookGaming app on Google Play, and soon you'll be able to set up gaming tournaments.
And finally, we're announcing Virtual Dates on Facebook Dating
