Facebook Messenger: Desktop — Group video calls and chats
Now more than ever, people are using technology to stay in touch with the people they care about, even when physically apart. Over the past month, we saw more than a 100% increase in people using their desktop browser for audio & video calling on Messenger.

Google is missing a prime opportunity to fulfill the promise to make Meet & Chat available to consumers here. Aside from that, FB Messenger is the only platform my parents reliably use, so I am kinda stuck being there. Maybe I should just buy them iPhones so we can use facetime instead.
So… Because of privacy concerns around Zoom sending video chat information to Facebook, people should switch to Facebook's video chat platform instead? 🤔
@williamwright yes, that speeds up data transmission by bypassing an intermediate data collector :-))
It's laughable that Facebook is touting their answer to Zoom as being more privacy-minded.
It only took them like 10 years to do it.. Not sure I feel like switching from Caprine, which has been working perfectly!
Many people are now doing virtual events and having a link is essential for people to just join. If they have that, I think people would easily move from Zoom or others.
@alexander_e_alvarado aren't people wanting to move away from Zoom partially due to them sending data to Facebook? now Facebook will just have all of it and probably more without the middleman
