Hello Readers, Welcome to my blog!! Today I here with the latest news for you. We all are familiar with the Zoom app. And in past days we also caught its vulnerabilities.

So, to compete with the Zoom app the well-known company Facebook is going to launch its own meeting room. The new video conferencing tool. Which is known as “Messenger Room”.

CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Facebook is rolling out a video-call competitor to Zoom, aimed at a group of up to 50 people. It comes with a lot of user-friendly features. It will allow up to 50 people to join the meeting at a time. People who have a Facebook account can join the meeting. If a person does not have a Facebook account though he/she can join the meeting via the invitation link.

About 300 million people have joined the Zoom meeting on the Zoom app. But because of its security issues people now avoiding its use.

You can create a meeting room on Facebook. It is said that it would be available on WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram smart speakers. A Messenger Room would be more secure than other platforms.

Security features of Messenger Room:

The advance security features of Messenger Room will keep away the intruders from the unauthorized access. The Host of the meeting will be able to control the meeting. They can only allow the eligible people to join the meeting. The host will send the invitation link to all the members to attend the meeting.

If the person does not have a Facebook account then they can join it from the invitation link sent by the host. We can say that this link would be less secure. A person without a Facebook account could join the meeting from their Web browser. You have to provide some pieces of information such as device name, web browser information, and the person name.

The host can also lock the room so no other person can join the meeting room without the permission of the host.

Conclusion:

However, we all know that video conferencing has become a staple for many people stuck at home during this lockdown. I make sure this will be definitely a secure platform. So guys use only a secure platform and keep working.
