The Facebook room in the group is where you can launch the Facebook group video chat room.
To do that, here are steps to take.
Launch your Facebook app.
Select the icon at the topmost right.
Select Groups.
Select the specific group
Click “Room” under the “Write something…”
You’ll be shown two options mobile no data to create room types as audio or video.
6. Select Video as your Room type and select Next
7. Next, fill in the details of your Room. You have to:
Give it a name,
Set the start time (and date) it will go live and,
Select who can join among the Facebook group participants. All the members of the group can join your Room if you want. Yet, you can also choose to restrict it to selected members.
How to Create a Room on Your Facebook Profile
Your News Feed will include a segment labeled “Rooms” at the top. To start your room, either click “Create” in the upper right corner of that bar or the bubble that contains your profile image and a plus symbol. (Note: This bar may extend into a row of rectangular tiles once you interact with it. To create a room, click the “Create” button inside your own tile.) You’ll see a window appear with a few options.
You can choose a purpose for the room in the first “Room activity,” which includes “Hanging Out,” “Here All Day,” “Keep Me Company,” “Bored at Home,” and many other options.
To change who is permitted to enter the room, click “Who is invited?” You have two choices. The first one, “Friends,” instantly displays your room at the top of the News Feed for everyone on your Facebook friends list, allowing them to join if they so choose.
The second option, “Invite Specific Friends,” enables you to choose which particular friends can view and enter your room. Choose the Facebook friends you wish to invite from the list that appears after selecting “Invite Specific Friends” and “Invite Friends.”
The option to allow others to join the room using a link will be shown to you if you choose to click the “Skip” button after that. To make this available, click “Turn On.”
You can schedule the room at a later time using the “Start time” option, the third selection in the “Create Your Room” window.
Click “Create Room” at the bottom of the “Create Your Room” window when you have finished configuring your settings.
A pop-up window will appear with the options to start, share, edit, and end the room. Additionally, there will be a URL that you can share with others to invite them to the room. To join your Room, select “Join” at the bottom.
Then, you’ll be directed to another window. To enter the room, select “Join as” from the menu. Until you do, your friends won’t be allowed to enter the room.
Finally, you are inside! A row of buttons will be seen at the bottom of your screen. You can use these to share your screen, view who else is on the conversation, toggle your video on or off, adjust your microphone settings, or end the connection, from left to right. A button in the top right corner of the screen enables you to see the callers or only view the one who is speaking if there are three or more individuals present.
Messenger Rooms lacks a chat feature. You should be able to see a bar with each participant’s name in it if you hover over their tile. To access the drop-down menu, which includes the option to remove persons, click the three dots next to their name. You can check a participant’s profile or write them a message if they signed up with their Facebook account. When you select the chatting option, Messenger will open in a new tab or window.
There are more choices available if you select the “See call participants” icon at the bottom of the screen. Switching to “Lock Room” will prevent others from joining the call.
Select “End Room” from the “Settings” menu at the top of this window to end the room. Click “End Room” in the bottom right corner of the new window that appears once you confirm that you wish to end the room.
