Messenger for Desktop is a wrapper for the official client messenger.com. Therefore it works like a regular browser which can only navigate to the messenger.com web app. MFD doesn't touch your messages, account or personal data. All that is handled securely by Facebook.
Now more than ever, people are using technology to stay in touch with the people they care about, even when physically apart. Over the past month, we saw more than a 100% increase in people using their desktop browser for audio and video calling on Messenger. Now with apps for MacOS and Windows, the best of Messenger is coming to desktop, including unlimited and free group video calls.
You can download Messenger for Desktop to easily access the desktop app. The program automatically launches when users start up their operating systems. This application is convenient for those who communicate a lot in Facebook Messenger, as there's no need to pick up mobile phones or open a new tab within a web browser to open the app and answer messages.
Above the search bar, members can generate a new message by clicking on the pencil and paper icon. The settings section is in the upper left corner of the user interface. Adjacent to the left panel is the current conversation window. To toggle between messages, you just simply click on a different discussion within the list on the left. The name of the active messenger will be displayed in the upper portion of the screen.
Facebook is looking to help Messenger desktop users celebrate the holiday season with a new set of AR effects, filters, and 360-degree backgrounds, the first effects of their type to be added to the desktop version of the app.
Users have been able to add AR effects within their regular, in-app Messenger interactions for some time, with Facebook adding 360-degree backgrounds in the app back in April. Now, they'll be available in the desktop version as well, with a range of seasonal options - as explained by Facebook:
Facebook announced the full roll-out of the desktop version of Messenger back in April, after testing it out in selected markets earlier in the year. At that time, Facebook noted that it had seen a more than a 100% increase in people using their desktop browser for audio and video calling on Messenger, as they sought to stay connected during the pandemic. Given this, Facebook sought to provide more dedicated tools to cater to the increased demand - and with COVID-19 set to keep families apart during the holidays, that will no doubt see Messenger desktop usage increase again over the next few weeks.
"To access any of the holiday filters and effects simply open the Messenger app on your desktop and start a video call, create a room, or open the Messenger camera. Click on the smiley face icon to see the filters and backgrounds tabs."

Over the past month, Facebook saw a more than 100% increase in people using their desktop browser for audio and video calling on Messenger, the company said.

Just looking for a widget-type of application to display ontop of any game I'm playing so I can talk on FB messenger while I play. I know Overwolf supported this for a while but it's a bit bloated for me and no longer supports the Facebook API. Anyone know of any good solutions for this?
Keep in mind that when you enable Dark mode in the browser based Facebook Messenger app, it also enables Dark mode for all other Facebook windows in the browser. If you don't want this, then you'll have to install the Facebook Messenger desktop app and choose the Dark theme instead.
Facebook just launched a new desktop Messenger app for Windows and MacOS, allowing you to chat or video call your friends without opening your browser. This is a timely release, and it should help families and friends stay connected without coordinating a confusing Zoom or Google Hangouts chat.
You won't be surprised to hear this, but video calls through Facebook Messenger have gone up two-fold over the past month. The company's decision to release Facebook Messenger for desktop won't matter to most users, but it's welcome news for anyone who's tired of their doomsday-era Facebook feed. Now you can socialize without falling down the rabbit hole of Facebook posts and news stories! Yay!
The new Facebook Messenger desktop app will look familiar to Messenger users, and includes options for Dark Mode and GIFs. The app allows you to mute or snooze notifications and will sync chats across devices. Like the browser version of Facebook, the desktop Messenger app is totally free.
If you were to take a look at my web browser, you'd see that it's always filled with too many tabs. Because of that, I try to separate certain services from the web browser and use desktop clients instead.
If given the choice between the official Facebook Messenger app and Caprine, I'll take Caprine every day. For example, one thing the official app does is default to chat head bubbles, which can seriously take over your desktop. Caprine does not do that, so all conversations are housed within the app. So, between that and there being a Linux app, Caprine is the winner for me, hands down.
If you're like me, you'll find Caprine to be an outstanding solution to a problem you didn't even realize you had. Give the app a try and see if it doesn't quickly become your go-to for all your Facebook messenger chats.
