According to a report by WABetaInfo, Facebook has integrated Messenger Rooms into WhatsApp for Android with the 2.20.163 beta update. The update brings a new "Room" option to the share menu inside the chat, which directs you to Messenger to create a room to have a group video call with up to 50 people.
