That means Messenger can’t support some of the new use cases that have emerged since people started to shelter-in-place due to COVID-19. Perhaps the biggest shortcoming of Facebook Messenger right now is that it can only handle up to 8 group video call participants, opposed to 100 or even 500 with Zoom. Messenger briefly had a Windows app back in 2011 before it was scrapped until now. Last month the Mac version was spotted in testing. But given the conference is cancelled due to coronavirus this year and users clearly wanted the desktop apps now, it made sense to launch them without a big press event. “We’re all looking for more ways to be together even while we’re physically apart” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg writes.įacebook originally announced the Messenger desktop apps at its F8 conference a year ago. They bring the same features as the browser version, but make it easier to keep your chat threads handy than having Messenger buried in one of many tabs. After seeing over a 100% increase in desktop browser audio and video calling, Messenger today releases its Mac and Windows desktop apps. But when you move the mouse to the right-side area, it will appear again.Facebook Messenger is finally getting desktop apps almost 9 years after its debut. Note, after few seconds the toolbar will disappear by itself. Toolbar buttons are self-explanatory and if you hover over any of them, a title shows up with a short description. When you open the popup, you will see a toolbar with 5 buttons at the right corner. This unofficial app (browser addon) is a wrapper to the original Messenger application and tries to make it usable as a browser plug-in. The official Messenger software is only released for smart phones and the web. It is an unofficial app that is developed and maintained independently. Important Note: App for Messenger™ does NOT belong or related to the official Facebook/Messenger website or application in any ways. Moreover, the popup has a built-in "Always-On-Top" feature which makes the window remain always on top of other windows, and enables you to do multi-tasking. Note, to start using this App, you need to have a Facebook account.Īpp for Messenger™ is considered a very lite Addon and does not add any additional burden to your browser. Moreover, the window is re-sizable to your desired choice and all the changes are auto saved to the memory. Clicking on the toolbar button, renders Messenger in a standalone UI. An easy-to-use and lite app for messenger App for Messenger™ (Facebook™ Messenger) is the easiest way to open and use Messenger from your desktop machine (PC, MAC or Linux).
