Facebook has announced that it was launching a Messenger app for MacOS & Windows so you can video chat on your computer & stay connected with friends and family all over the world.
Facebook said on its official blog that over the past month, because of the global lockdown, it had Seen over 100% increase in people using their desktop browser for audio & video calling on Messenger. This was the motivation behind launching the desktop app.
Here are some highlights:
- Group video calls on a larger screen: Stay in touch with family & friends, join a workout, or host a virtual happy hour.
- Easy to connect.:You don’t need to know someone’s email or phone number since all your Facebook friends have Messenger.
- Multitasking: Your chats are easily accessible, & you can pop in & out of the app while doing other things on your computer.
- Notifications: You can receive notifications for new messages, so you can quickly find the chat you’re looking for. But you’re in control — you can choose to mute and snooze notifications.
