Facebook has launched group video chats within Messenger.
The tool will allow up to six participants to view one another in a live video call. People can easily initiate calls within existing groups or by creating new groups.
Tapping a video button is all that’s required to kick off a video group chat. Facebook says people can ring the entire group at once, or just select numbers before inviting others.
The feature is rolling out to Facebook Messenger for Android and iOS devices, as well as the web, globally.
The app is free to download from the Google Play Store and iTunes App Store. Video calls are free over WiFi, but will use data if conducted over cellular networks.
