In addition, Facebook plans to add the ability for users to charge for access to live-streaming video events, including online music performances, classes and tutorials, and professional conferences.Īnd in another new feature, Instagram Live videos will now be viewable on desktop computers, Zuckerberg said. The company also is updating Facebook Live, the platform’s one-to-many live-streaming feature, to bring back “Live With,” a feature that lets broadcasters add another person into the live video. Other security and privacy features of Messenger Rooms, according to Facebook are: room locking (disabling others to join once a session has started) removing and blocking participants and reporting a room name if someone believes it violated Facebook’s policies. In a blog post, chief privacy officer Erin Egan wrote, “Regardless of whether you use Rooms through your Facebook account or join as a guest, we don’t watch or listen to your audio or video calls.” “We also know it’s really important that annoying people - or problematic people” don’t drop in to users’ Messenger Rooms, he said. Messenger Rooms can be made private, or they can be open to people in a group with whom a user has more frequently interacted with, Zuckerberg said. The CEO alluded to the problem of “Zoombombing,” unwanted intrusions from people into Zoom meetings. “We’ve built this with security and privacy in mind from the beginning,” he said. Zuckerberg said the company developed Messenger Rooms with security top-of-mind, and has learned from mistakes made by others in the videoconferencing space. In Facebook Messenger, a tray at the top of the news feed will show all active video rooms that a user’s friends are holding (if they’ve been granted permission to participate).


Messenger Rooms will be launching across all of Facebook’s apps, including the Portal video device, starting this week, Zuckerberg said. “We’re going to start to see this theme of having a shared video-presence technology, but have the product experience vary dramatically” depending on use case. “Video presence isn’t just about calling someone,” Zuckerberg said in a live-stream on Facebook.
