You Can Video Chat in Groups Of 50 on Facebook

As everyone works digitally and virtually while trying to stay connected and still engage with their coworkers and have meetings, Zoom has taken off. I had never even heard of Zoom before the world started to shut down, and now it seems to be a thing we hear about every single day. And obviously others want to get in on that press. By others, I mean one of the biggest social platforms there is.

Facebook announced a new videoconferencing product, in what looks like an attempt to take away some of Zoom's new user base. Messenger Rooms will let Facebook and Messengers users create free videos calls for groups of up to 50 people, even if they don't have Facebook accounts. (Messenger video calls were limited to eight people before.)

Video calls on Messenger Rooms also won't have a time limit and will allow people to add filters. Zoom calls are free for up to 100 users but only for the first 40 minutes.

So are we sticking with Zoom? Or switching to the Zuck side?
