In this article, we explain how to make group video calls through Facebook Messenger so you never lose contact with your loved ones. We also teach you how to share your screen, add effects and play with your friends.
How to make a group video call with Facebook Messenger
Group video call functionality is available through the website of Facebook as an application Facebook Messenger. To do this tutorial, use the app, but use a platform that's more comfortable for you.
To get started, you must call a video for a contact. Open the app and touch the conversation with that person. You can also tap on the pencil icon in the top right corner and touch the contact you want to call.
Now, tap on the icon in the form of a video camera and the call will be made. In response, you will immediately see, at the bottom of the screen, a new icon with a person's profile and the icon & # 39; + & # 39; So you can add more people to the video call.
This is not the only way to make video calls. The following method is especially useful for those who make video calls with the same team over and over again. In this case, you'll need to touch the pencil icon and touch & # 39; Create a new group & # 39;
Then it'll be as easy as adding people to your contact list that you want to make that group video call. You can also give the group a name (useful if you have several) and then touch & # 39; Next & # 39;
You can now start a video call. If you've just created a group, you'll find the video camera icon at the top. By tapping on it, Facebook will call all your contacts to that group and you'll have to wait for them to respond.
This does not mean that the video call is only for the people you added that day to that group. During a video call, you can add anyone you want by simply tapping on the silhouette icon with & # 39; + & # 39;
Next to the icon to add people, you'll see that there are others with different functions. You can mute your microphone or turn off the video if you like. You can share your device screen with a group to teach something.
To share your screen, tap on the icon with the two rectangles you will see above and click & # 39; Continue & # 39; You should know that this will activate your camera, so you only go to show your screen and not your face.
If you are using the Messenger app, you should know that the first thing to do after using this function is to go to your home screen or it will only be displayed in a black image. After that you can navigate the interface and open the applications you want.
