Facebook screen sharing feature will allow its users to be able to share a live view of their screen with the other person on the call helping them share virtually anything together.  Whether you want to share memories from your camera roll, shop together online, co-browse social media, and more — screen sharing makes it easy to stay connected and close with your loved ones, even when you’re physically apart.  

Moreover, the company has also said that besides screen sharing on mobile and web this feature is also being expanded to the Messenger Rooms with up to 16 people on web and desktop. Soon the company will also be adding the ability to control who can share their screen in Rooms and expand the number of people they can share your screen with up to 50 within Messenger Rooms. Therefore, letting the Room creators decide how to limit the ability to screen share to just themselves or make the feature available to all participants when creating a room and during the call.

Separately a previous WABetaInfo report suggests that the WhatsApp beta app version 2.20.163 for Android showcases a new integration with Messenger Rooms. For this, the company is creating tables in a local database that will enable the users of this social networking site to manage messages and services with other WhatsApp users. However, this functionality is under development and it is not confirmed that this shared connection platform to bridge communication between Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram will be extended to the users of three platforms to communicate with each using different social-media other profiles.
