Messenger is launching a virtual how-to holiday guide in partnership with modern etiquette expert Myka Meier that offers virtual holiday party "dos and don'ts." These tips and tricks will help users navigating hassle- and stress-free online get-togethers over Messenger Rooms and also offers holiday activities to keep everyone in your party entertained.
Myka Meier recommends users use holiday-themed backgrounds that are well lit, that guests create a list of holiday-themed activities including ice breakers and watching shows like Tipsy Bartender through Messenger's feature Watch Together, and shop smart and locally to find great gifts that you can showcase virtually through screen share. Some holiday "don'ts" include not taking a one-size-fits-all approach to holiday parties, not letting one person dominate the conversation, and not skip out and be involved in the holidays this year.
