How to see how long a Messenger person has been on a video call?

It is not possible to see how long another person has been in a video call, but you can know how long your own video call lasted. It is very simple, just enter the chat of the person with whom you communicated and at the end the time that the call lasted will be displayed .

How to know if a Messenger user is connected to a video call?

The process to know if someone is connected to another video call is very simple, however, it varies depending on the device you have. Next, we show you how to know if a user is  connected to another video call both from your mobile and from the computer.

From iPhone

  • Launch the Facebook Messenger app on your iPhone mobile.
  • Find the user you want to communicate with.
  • Within your chat, you must press on the camera-shaped icon located in the upper right part of the screen.
  • If the message ‘You have another call’appears on the screen , it means that the other person is already in communication with someone else.

android devices

  • The first thing is to start the Messenger application and search for the user with whom you want to communicate.
  • After the above, enter the chat of said personand click on the icon in the shape of a video camera that is in the upper right.
  • Wait to see if the person answers, if instead the message ‘You have another call’appears , it means that the user is busy.

In the PC

  • In the case of PC, the first thing is to start Facebook and find the user you want to communicate with. Go to that person’s chat, and click on the little camcorder-shaped icon to make a call.
  • After the above the call will be made, if the other user is connected to a video call, the message ‘On another call’ will be displayed and you will have the option to redial or close the call.

Can a person who is not active on Messenger attend a video call?

Even by ‘Appearing Offline’ in Facebook or Messenger , you can attend a video call, in any case there is also a configuration option to hide these notifications. To be more specific, if the person has the ‘Incoming call sound’ option deactivated, then they will not receive notifications of calls and video calls made by other users.

Why do I get a ‘Busy’ notice when calling someone on Messenger?

The ‘Busy’ message is equivalent to the ones mentioned before (‘You have another call’, ‘On another call’). In other words, this means that the person you are calling cannot answer or is on another call. In this case, it is best to try to make the call at another time.

What should be done to disable or remove all calls from Messenger?

In the case of the PC, just go to the contacts configuration section, to do this simply click on the three points located on the right of the screen, right next to ‘Contacts’. There, disable the ‘Incoming call sounds’ option , this way you will not receive notifications related to Facebook calls or video calls .

In the case of mobile phones, the matter is a bit more complicated, making it necessary to log out of your account if you do not want to receive any type of call. We recommend doing this process with both Messenger and the Facebook app .

Another way to deactivate calls is to block someone on Facebook , in any case, it is not recommended if you are a friend of this person. For this reason, it is best that you take into account the tips that we mentioned if you do not want to receive calls on Messenger .
