Facebook is continuing its mission to try and replace your standard telephone number with its latest update for Facebook Messenger — allowing up to 50 users to jump on a VoIP audio call for a group chat.

The members will then receive a Messenger call simultaneously, which they can join at any point the conversation is taking place.
