| Messenger enables the whole group to share the AR experience |
The Facebook Messenger platform adds a team effect so everyone in a video call can enjoy the same augmented reality experience at the same time.
These effects are now available through video calls in Messenger and Messenger Room (the service's Zoom video conferencing feature). It is also posted on Instagram.
Group Effects is a new augmented reality experience that can expand everyone's ability to communicate with friends and family in more engaging ways in video calls at the same time.
Whether you want to improve your competition or have fun with friends 3,000 miles away, Group Effects makes video calling even more fun.
Group Effects works with anyone on video calls, so you can enjoy a multiplayer gaming experience with your friends.
In other words, augmented reality effects have become a shared experience. Video calls are personal and immersive. You can choose from a library of more than 70 sets of respondents.
To view the group effect, go to the Messenger app, start a video call, tap the smiley face to open the effects drawer, and then select the group effect.
Group Effects enables developers to bring their creativity to the platform-wide video calling experience. Many AR effects are images or videos that are experienced individually or enriched with stories or reels.
With the help of Group Effects, content creators like Ross Wakefield, who designed the Blow the Dandelion effect, have a whole new field of creativity.
AR experience makes messaging calls more exciting
Group Effects is a more interactive and engaging way to communicate with your friends. It also supports creative communities and provides more opportunities for people to express themselves.
We all rely on video calls to bring us closer and interact with the world around us. With this new feature, these interactions become unforgettable.
