Ever wished you could join a Messenger video call from two different devices using the same account? Imagine the convenience of seamlessly switching between your laptop and mobile device, especially when you’re on the go!
While Messenger allows you to stay logged in on multiple devices simultaneously, attending a video call from two devices at once using the same account is a no-go. It’s just not a default feature yet.
Here are some clever workarounds to help you out:
Solution 1: Switch devices mid-call
- End the call on your mobile device.
- Log in to Messenger on another device.
- Have the person call you back or initiate the call yourself.
Sure, there might be a slight interruption, but it’s better than being stuck with a frozen screen!
Solution 2: Use a separate account
If you really need to join a video call from two devices, try using a different Messenger account. Here’s how:
- Create a Messenger Room or start a group video call.
- Add both your primary and alternate accounts to the room or group.
- Initiate the call, and voila! You can join from two devices.
Just follow these simple steps:
- Open Messenger and tap the People tab.
- Select “Create a Room” and add participants (including your alternate account).
- Tap “Create” and you’re good to go!
Alternatively, for a group video call:
- Tap the Pencil icon in Messenger.
- Choose “Create a New Group” and add your contacts (including your alternate account).
- Open the group and hit the Camera icon to start the call.
While attending a Messenger video call from two devices using the same account isn’t possible yet, these workarounds should help you stay connected and productive.
