Portal From Facebook Now Supports Group Video Calls via Messenger Rooms

The device’s Facebook Live app lets users stream to pages, groups

Facebook detailed some new features for its Portal From Facebook video-calling devices, highlighted by the addition of group video calls via Messenger Rooms.

Up to 50 people can participate in Messenger Rooms group video calls, and Facebook accounts are not a requirement.

Portal Spaces gives users dynamic backdrops that change over time, which can be used as backgrounds for video calls. The social network said in a Newsroom post, “Travel inside a private jet as clouds pass the windows, kick back in a field of flowers that turns luminescent depending on the time of day or hang out on a tropical island as birds fly by.”
