Messenger From Facebook Adds Group Effects for Video Calls, Rooms

All participants are augmented simultaneously

Messenger From Facebook is giving users a way to spice up their video calls and Rooms with augmented reality Group Effects.

The new AR experiences augment all participants on a video call or in a Room simultaneously, giving users a more fun and immersive way to connect with each other.

Users will be able to choose from a library of more than 70 Group Effects, including a game where people compete to build the best burger to an effect with a cute orange cat that enters everyone’s screens.
