Recently, Facebook Messenger introduced a feature that supports video chat with up to 50 people at a time, which is now being offered on WhatsApp as well.

This feature called Messenger Rooms has reached Instagram users but it is not currently available to everyone in the WhatsApp. This feature has been introduced in Android and iOS beta versions and now the company has also explained how Android users will be able to use it.

WhatsApp has updated its FAQ page to explain how ROM links can be created and shared or how to be part of someone else’s ROM.

To do this, first open the WhatsApp, go to the Calls tab in it, click Create A Room, or open a friend or group chat, click on the Attach sign and go to the Room option.
