What to do to find out how long a person has been on a Messenger video call?
Due to the privacy policy of the Facebook Messenger application, there is no specific tool to know how long a person has been in a video call . However, you can try to call that person from time to time, when trying to call him in the middle of a video call, the platform will indicate that he is busy on another call.
You can keep trying for a considerable period of time until he answers, so you can calculate the amount of time he was on the video call.
How to see if a person is busy on a Messenger call?
Sometimes you may want to initiate a call through Messenger with a person, but you don’t know if they are busy or in some other video call and you don’t want to interrupt. However, Messenger shows you a notice with which you can see if it is busy and they do not want to be interrupted, this notice can be seen through any device.

From Android
The way in which you can know if someone else is in a video call in Messenger from an Android device is the same that we apply from iPhone devices.

If a Messenger person is not active, can they be in a video call with someone else?
To make a call or video call to someone else it is necessary that both people are active on the platform . However, when you make a call and that person does not answer, even though you will not be able to see the notification of the call immediately, when you enter the application again you will be able to see it.
Also, if that person is not active or not receiving calls, you can leave a message to let them know that you have called . On the other hand, you can just make a call so that when you enter the platform again you will see the notification of a missed call.
Why does it appear that a Messenger user is busy when calling?
If the other person is in a call or video conference, it will not be interrupted by another, however, when it ends, you will be able to see the notification of a missed call. Therefore, if you try to make a call to another person using Messenger, but it appears that they are busy, it means that they may be on some other call or video call .
