It\u2019s a video calling platform, but slightly different than the typical video calling or conferencing.<\/p>\n<p>What makes \u201cRooms\u201d different is they\u2019re persistent. Rather than creating a one-off meeting or calling someone directly, the rooms live on. Participants can hop in whenever they want, like a virtual hang-out space. The host is not required to be there after creating the room.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Set Up a Facebook Messenger Rooms Video Call<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebook_Is_Optional\"><\/span>Facebook Is Optional<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The other thing that makes Rooms unique is the number of participants and how they can join. Facebook\/Instagram Rooms can have up to 50 participants, but everyone doesn\u2019t have to be there at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, participants don\u2019t even need to have an Instagram or Facebook account. The host can create an invite link and people can join from any device. However, those who don\u2019t have Instagram or Facebook can only join if the host is also there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Automatically Share Your Instagram Stories and Posts on Facebook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Instagram_Rooms\"><\/span>How to Use Instagram Rooms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram Rooms can be found in the Direct Message area.

Instagram Rooms are simply Facebook Messenger Rooms\u2026 but from Instagram. Facebook is bringing these two platforms more closely together\u2014for example, you can message a Facebook friend from Instagram\u2014and this is another part of that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Message a Facebook Friend From Instagram<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
