Meta is updating its messaging app for Windows to let you do video calls with up to 8 people, and audio calls with up to 32 people. Before, you could only do individual calls.

I love the laptop, but I don’t love what it’s packaged with.
If you hadn’t already installed the Windows 11 update that added a tiny Bing shortcut button to your taskbar (and tabs for Notepad, Phone Link for rudimentary iMessaging from your PC, and AI-powered file recommendations in the Start Menu), it’s now being delivered automatically.
It’s not quite a Cortana and Master Chief experience; however, clicking it pops up the search bar, and queries simply take you to the Edge browser’s built-in Bing AI chatbot integration.
This isn’t a bad laptop, but it is a bad deal.
Microsoft added more to its latest Windows 11 release candidate than just a Bing AI shortcut button that launches the chatbot in an Edge browser window.
As Tom Warren pointed out, it also includes the tabs in Notepad feature that leaked on Christmas Eve, and for some people, that might be the biggest deal. (Even if you’ve already heard of Notepad++.)
