How to place a video call on Facebook Messenger: A step-by-step guide

Facebook Messenger allows you to make one-on-one video calls and group video calls with up to 50 people using Messenger Rooms. Facebook Messenger is free and offers several ways that you can use to communicate, including placing one-to-one video calls and creating a room. The platform supports various video calling features, and it’s available across the globe with support for a wide variety of devices.

You can install the Messenger app on your Android device or iPhone from the Google Play or App Store respectively. There’s also a Messenger app for macOS and Windows desktops. You can also access Messenger from Facebook on the web or from the dedicated Messenger web app. Installing or using the latest version of Messenger ensures you will have access to the latest features.

One interesting thing to note is that in case you deactivate your Facebook account, you can still use Messenger and can even share photos, videos, start group chats, and more – all without a Facebook account. Facebook has been working to integrate all its messaging platforms, including WhatsApp and Instagram, so that users will be able to start a conversation and access it across from any of Facebook’s services.
