Facebook Messenger has added Group Effects, a new feature that allows everyone on a video call to join in on the same AR experience at the same time, making video calls more engaging and fun.
Group Effects adds layers to your video calls so you can express yourself in even more ways during a video chat with loved ones.
Previously, you were only able to use AR effects on your own, like augmenting a photo or video for Stories or Reels. Now, you can enjoy a two-way AR experience with multiple people in a video call.

A huge shift from the platform’s one-participant-at-a-time AR feature, the Group Effects feature allows you to play multiplayer games with your friends during a video call, so you can do more than just catch up.
Messenger has a library of more than 70 Group Effects to choose from, including a game where you and your friends compete to build the best virtual burger.
The effects are available now across Messenger video calls and Messenger Rooms (Facebook’s Zoom copycat feature), with plans to launch on Instagram in the future.

Facebook Is Adding Dimension to Messenger Video Calls
Facebook is adding more creative ways to communicate and catch up with others, thereby breaking the monotony that sometimes comes with phone or video conversations.
In addition to helping you to connect with your friends and family on Messenger, Group Effects will allow you to do that in fun and memorable ways, adding dimension to your video calls.
This is important as many people rely on video calls to feel closer to their loved ones, especially when seeing them in person is not an option.
