Facebook is launching a Messenger app for MacOS and Windows so you can video chat on your computer.

Here are some highlights:
- Group video calls on a larger screen.

- Multitasking. Your chats are easily accessible, and you can pop in and out of the app while doing other things on your computer.
- Notifications. You can receive notifications for new messages, so you can quickly find the chat you’re looking for. You can choose to mute and snooze notifications.
- Chats sync across mobile and desktop.
- Dark Mode and GIFs are included.
You can download the app today from the Microsoft Store or Mac App Store.
