The ongoing global pandemic has made work from home not only an expensive concept practiced selectively in organizations but the new normal of labor life. Thanks to the lockdown everyone has been forced to figure from home and technology has provided the much needed help.

Zoom, a video conferencing startup saw a surge in its demand as individuals and organizations found out the way to make the simplest of the present situation. The platform wasn’t just used for business calls, but all those choosing live sessions on Facebook and other social media sites were also using Zoom to require on board the participants then doing their live sessions, be it music or discussions.

Facebook always keeps on performing on new features to feature on the users’ experience and it’s never shied faraway from copying and incorporating features that they see becoming popular on other platforms. Instagram stories copying Snapchat’s concept then doing it better is one major example.

So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Facebook has come up with something which will rival Zoom to form the virtual online visits on its own platform. With virtual rooms, friends can enter for online visits via video calls as a part of an attempt to assist users locked down during the pandemic.

Messenger Rooms is ready-made for socializing with friends and family whether it’s birthdays, happy hours, book clubs or parents groups, in contrast with Zoom, developed with business in mind.
