How to make group video call using Messenger

Like WhatsApp, another Facebook service that offers video calling is Messenger. With a higher limit, it is possible to join up to 50 people in a group video call in this application. The best thing is that, as many people already have an account on the social network, it is easier to find contacts. Learn how to do it.
