Facebook Messenger is pushing out whole new features in rapid succession as 2016 comes to a close.
A week after releasing a new, Snapchat-style camera, the wildly popular messaging app is introducing group video chat, its most requested feature.
Group video chat on Messenger will be available globally, both on iOS and Android, and will start rolling out Monday.
Messenger’s impressive run of new feature releases is evidence Facebook is unwilling to simply let it ride the coattails of the 1.79 billion user core app it’s inherently tied to. Instead, as Messenger ships fun new features, Facebook is proving the wisdom of spinning out the app in 2014, a move initially met with user backlash.
Group video chat on Messenger will support up to six videos at a time, but up to 50 people can watch and, if they so choose, join via voice, stickers and the like.
A video icon will now appear at the top right of group conversations, and tapping on it will alert group members and give them the choice to join.
