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.
