How to Use Facebook Messenger Rooms - New Video Chat Platform

[@Howfinity]

Thanks so much for watching. Please give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to this channel for daily, easy to follow tech videos.

[@ADAMOLOGY]

Howfinity Can you do me a favor, research the policy policy for this new application. Messager already has a policy of keeping or getting access to your information. Why was this developed? Is Facebook going against streamYard? Does the messager app record audio & video even when it’s not in use? The private policy I would really like to know because Facebook does sell your information to 3rd parties.

[@Howfinity]

I watched this video they released and they talked about their privacy policy on it. I think it’s simply their answer to Zoom. And bringing social elements to it.

[@BarnesEmily]

Does anyone know if you invite specific people but they can’t join there and then, would they be able to join and see what we did at a later date?

[@tinandubuisi7895]

You have explained this better than anyone else I listened to.

[@ShadowsandCityLights]

This is just what I was looking for no time limits and I know the old folks have Facebook so it should be easier to connect with them!

[@triciadarryllgrayson7894]

Dude, you nailed this presentation and tutorial. Thanks-A-Ton! I was set up and tested my account as you, at the right pace, navigated me through. AWESOME!

[@963ag]

What are the advantages/ disadvantages of this as compared to Zoom and/ or Skype? Which is preferable for meetings, screen share, workshops etc.

[@HeartSoulLeake]

Very clear and relatively detailed. Thank you for sharing.

[@dr.debbiewilliams]

I don't have Facebook Messenger. I only had it for a few weeks in the beginning of 2016. I didn't use it prior to that time, now have I used it since then.

[@esplenderm3096]

Is there an option to choose just the presenter to be on the screen? So let's say, if you don't want to be distracted by other people, can you select to just see the screen of the presenter?

[@Tabascopeppers]

So I've tested it out with friends. Is there a way to schedule more than 1 at a time? It seems I can schedule only 1 at a time before I schedule the next one.

[@visionquest414]

You did a greeat joB! Ive been looking for something for family chat. My family has iphone. I have android.. This is so much easier though as they all have facebook.

[@marinagamby]

Does anyone know if the other guests can see who else is invited to be in the room when they receive the link? I'm trying to set up a surprise for a friend and wouldn't want to spoil it if they would be able to see the list of who else is in there before joining. Thanks in advance!

[@CharliesAngelTarot]

how can one collaborate with someone else or do an interview on messenger rooms. it seems the other person can not see the chat or see me if we are interviewing i can not select the screen so that the audiance can see who i am interviewing or working together with. like in the olden days. i don't like what face book has done. As it also only allows 50 people it is not openn enough to the public and especailly the older generations don't understand how to come in. but your video is clear thankx

[@soniaverduzco3799]

Can you make a demonstration of what it looks like when you invite more than one person to the room?

[@paolabueso]

Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@azathothwakesup]

Thanks man, I had no idea it was just a webcam room!

[@OnlyOneHope]

Followed right along with the video and set it up. Thanks!

[@larrysheran]

What about recording the live room to share as a podcast?

[@julitopabriga9094]

How do you use say presentation files in room? Would clicking the share button do it?

[@fotofyn]

Is it possible to record a video chat from there. Ex. if you want to do some video interviews and clip together for a report later ?

[@Howfinity]

I didn’t see a record option yet. Hopefully soon

[@Howfinity]

I didn’t see a record option yet. Hopefully soon

[@DeanReynoldsMusic]

Amazing Video dude! Wow, 11k in 6 days! Dope!

[@Barkbark1955]

Can you save a room so that people later on could view it and if so how do you do it thank you

[@donttreadonmae5810]

I wanted to know this too

[@DjTecniq]

So if you wanted to livestream a wedding to friends or family members in a group chat is there a way to disable their cameras so only your camera is showing for the LIVE event/wedding and they are just viewers? Great video. Cheers

[@smac-1960]

Thanks, but can you share your screen. Desktop or mobile. ?

[@dave121594]

Is there an option for you to create a virtual background as well?

[@My_Nannie]

Once I have created a private room (for family) that won't be for a few weeks out, Holiday, how do I FIND it if I have to adjust the time?

[@jameeeaton5544]

On a laptop what browsers will this work on ? Does it work on Safari ?

[@lseecap616]

How can I do away with the activity/history log (Example: Fe joined the room; Fe left the room, etc.) from showing in messenger video room. Thanks

[@Billie_Wech]

Thank you so much for this video! One quick question.... After the room has ended in a fb group, is it visible for others to go watch like a replay??

[@seevalingumcanoussamypoull6864]

NYC video. ;)

[@directajith]

Any screen sharing options?

[@kalpanasharma1592]

Thanks for the video, it is very useful 😊👍

[@secret3576]

What is the meaning behind the the picture of people's account aligned beside the create room button?

[@SheAndMe]

Very informative, thanks.

[@transformyourlife.2334]

That was really helpful,, when everyone is in the room can they all see each other or do they only see me? Thanks.

[@alishawood164]

Did you ever get an answer to this?

[@morrison22]

I like turtles.

[@lindabaker6034]

Can you tell me how someone from another country set up a room for me . These were people that I had unfriended.

[@harveysingh8690]

Thank you. Very well explained. 👍

[@ppsudeep]

Is it possible to share in facebook for the public recorded meeting video

[@jersenmeim87]

Did you try to share screen a video in a room, without having a mic, does the sounds still working?

[@nosquarez1]

Can you stream music in it or are you going to get kicked off like on Facebook live

[@trishmadore2104]

I thought this was going to be a great way to teach my classes, but I wonder if there is a replay for those who couldn't make it at the time I have the room open??

[@cheryldavis8125]

I want to know as well!!

[@ljrancier]

I don't think so....not yet. I am sure they will add more features soon.

[@KHRISDACREATOR]

Can you record like a podcast?

[@amandeepthind5568]

[@ashleyarzonico8725]

Can you do this even on a business account?

[@kredineventsengineer]

Nice video very clear.. however, i dont have the create room on my FB app

[@greensurr1]

Is it possible to make a room available to specific friends that will appear on the Facebook room tab without sending everyone a messenger invite?

[@tomilyngarot2807]

Love your channel! So helpful. What program do u use to share ur screen when u are demonstrating things?

[@Howfinity]

Thanks. I use OBS and sometimes Screen Flow

[@BerylWhiteBing]

Question: Can you share a video with sound in Facebook Room?

[@sunshinesammy753]

Need an answer as well please

[@ljrancier]

You can share it on Facebook Messenger, yes, or even Facebook. Rooms is only for video calls. You can share your screen on FRooms though.

[@jesusthegymthemwithjoiedwa2398]

Thank you 😊

[@jjustjamie]

Great Video, I have it in the UK! I can create a room as default it's my name no edits are allowed, I do wonder when the updates will happen here!

[@URBESTLYFE]

Can you do a video to show members how to find and enter a room as a guest. I've had so many members inbox me saying that can not find the room tab to enter.

[@GwenCleck]

Can your meeting be recorded?

[@David-NYC]

Seems that the messaging / chat functionality during a room is pretty weak - every other video conf system has chat built into the room

[@FrederickMurga]

Does anyone know where you can see all the rooms you are invited or you have organized? I prepare several and I lose the count

[@maureenfrasure3444]

Hi there thank you so much for your content. It was very helpful. My question is, Can I only schedule one room at a time? In other words if I wanted to meet with several different people like I was doing on Zoom, I was able to schedule those and then share the link, can I do that in this Facebook room? I tried and it didn't look like I could. It looked like I could only do one at a time.

[@ljrancier]

You can only do one per account, but you can share the link with many people. They can join your room.

[@juliusbielovas9512]

is there any way to record your conversation?

[@LEADDRAG]

Sure you may use any Screen recorder to record your rooms activity.

[@dance2fitwithamanda940]

Is there a way to make one person the “host” so their screen is the only one showing? One person full screen without showing everyone that is in the room ?

[@mikel7162]

You can try it with Paltalk.

[@lindagarcia672]

Please add your link for the microphone you use

[@MizzDeee]

I am up to date on all app and software - yet I have no Rooms option in Messenger or Facebook. Any ideas?

[@armyveteranhooah2813]

How do you take your Room live? I do not see the option anymore.

[@hindikigrammar]

Can I do zoom meeting using messenger

[@MsTinnn]

[@momteresa47]

I'm trying to educate my senior residents to join BINGO, Concentration, Jeopardy, exercise class with me live while they are quarantined to their apartments. How can I make my screen bigger so they can see my Game better?

[@valeriiatkachuk1505]

Thanks a loooooot! One question. Can I create a breakout room here (Zoom has this unique option?

[@Howfinity]

I didn’t see that yet. I’ve used t in zoom and Microsoft teams

[@denisesharman98]

Thanks. That helped. I bwgan using it without knowing about it when a message popped up on Messenger to see if I wanted to join the friend's room .

[@shirleydevrede8665]

Is it possible to record your Facebook messenger room. This Sunday I have with 10 friends of mine a video room chat. I want to record this so I can put it on my Facebook site

[@daniel.oskar.3lice]

Thanks, really helpful, simple and clear video. Just one question is it like that you can only invite people with a facebook access or as well some from whats app or instagram? Thanks for a answer, Daniel

[@Howfinity]

Technically, they don’t even need Facebook, but they need messenger app. So you can invite anyone and they will be asked to download messenger

[@erincote2967]

This is very helpful! Thanks so much! Hoping you do one on how to do it from a Business FB account with a group in in it!

[@Mike-Hughes-Timmins]

anyone know when this will be in the UK?

[@dazsmithuk]

Now. At least, it's just appeared for me.

[@ricob8570]

can you create more than one room with different people?

[@jeffreydaclan1035]

PLEASE I NEED UR FACTS IMMEDIATELY which consumes more data, google meet or messenger room? will google meet gets laggy the more people come in? will messenger room gets laggy the more people come in? between the 2 which gets more laggy the more people come in?

[@ElizabethheartzYT]

Can this be done for a FB page?

[@dipeshgautam5677]

can we do screen sharing in here?

[@dexiecuadero6720]

Hello sir..thanks for the very informative video..do you have a video on how to maximize the window of screen sharing when there are about 20 participants? Because when there are lots of participants in the room, the tendency is that, the participants who are watching the screen shared by the presentor, it will become so small..because we can see the faces of the participants as well as the screen shared by the presentor..how to eliminate the participants' faces so the shared screen will be left?

[@bansilfamily2511]

Download desktop app

[@SirHerk]

Does it work thru safari?

[@ritikgupta3001]

No. You just have to have the messenger app installed. If you don’t, it will ask you to install it.
