Facebook, earlier in the month released the much-awaited Zoom-alternative Messenger Rooms for group video call and now the company has integrated the latter to its popular social media platform Instagram.

With the latest update, Instagram users will be able to invite up to 50 people for a video chat session on mobiles. The user will have full control to invite and also block any annoying person from entering the Messenger Rooms.

Here's how to open Messenger Rooms on Instagram:

Step 3: There, you can send the video chat invite up to 50 people. After that, you will be asked to either send the invite or start the Rooms session immediately. Choose the appropriate option and you are good to go.

It can be noted that Facebook will also be bringing similar Messenger Rooms integration to the popular messenger application WhatsApp soon. It has already started the testing and we expect to be made available to the public in a few days.
