WhatsApp is currently testing a series of new features. For example, Messenger is working to increase the number of participants in group video chats. As for video conferencing, you will soon be able to look forward to a new feature in Messenger itself and Facebook and Instagram. The "Messenger Room" is coming. Parent company Facebook has officially announced this on Twitter. However, this feature is still in beta.
What is behind? With the help of Messenger Rooms, you can create your own rooms, similar to the way you have groups in the corresponding Messenger. The created room has an invitation link that you can send to others. Special feature: For the first time, you can start a group video chat with others who do n’t have a Apps, Facebook or Instagram account. This way everyone can join the video conference.
In the current Beta version of WhatsApp for Android 2.20.139, Wabetainfo, a website that specializes in leaking WhatsApp, has been able to recognize new features. If a meeting room is created, WhatsApp will explain the function at this time and announce that you can also invite people without a Messenger account to participate in the video conference.
No end-to-end encryption
It should also be noted in the explanation that the group video chat in the "conference room" is protected by Messenger's own encryption. However, video conferencing does not have end-to-end encryption. It is not yet known when the new features of the Facebook app will be available. However, because Facebook has officially announced the feature on its own Twitter channel, the deployment time will not be too long.
