Members of Facebook Groups Will Be Able to Chat With Up to 250 Fellow Members

The feature is powered by Messenger

Facebook is adding a touch of Messenger to its groups, enabling members of groups to chat with up to 250 fellow members, as well as to start audio or video calls with up to 50 members.

The social network said more than 1.4 billion people are using groups each month, and there are tens of millions of active groups.

Group members can start chats by selecting the Chats tab at the top of their group pages and clicking Start Chat, after which they are taken to Messenger, where they can name the chat and choose which members to add.

Chats in groups can be viewed and joined by any member of those groups, and only group members can participate.
