The Zoom app, which has become one of the symbols of the Corona era, has crushed its competitors. According to a publication on the WABetaInfo blog, WhatsApp, owned by the social networking giant Facebook, will soon have an answer that will allow multi-party video calls in the browser version on a computer. The WABetaInfo blog recently noticed a new icon in the menu in the beta version of the app, clicking on which leads users to Facebook's new Messenger Rooms - a new service in Facebook's instant messaging app that allows multi-party video calls. In Facebook's service, users can create rooms and define who is allowed to join, as well as remove participants during the call and change the background. The new feature has not yet been officially released because it is still in development, but it will probably appear soon.
