How to get the new Facebook chat with video calling
Here is the response of Facebook to Google+. Skype integration into Facebook chat to provide video calling to users. News was circulating that Facebook is about to launch something “awesome” and it comes exactly one week after the limited release of Google+. Facebook was missing the video call feature for a long time and Skype has a proven technology and experience. The integration seems to be a good add-on for Facebook. From another point of view it can also be seen as Microsoft’s rivalry with Google (Microsoft is the new owner of Skype and a shareholder in Facebook). News apart, here is how you can get the latest video calling chat on Facebook:
- Log in to your facebook account
- Go to
- Click on Get Started (Facebook can take you from here in steps but still I’ll write it), It will ask you to select a friend to video chat
- Click on a friend, the chat window opens up
- On the top of the chat window, there is the known video sign
, click it
- It will ask you “Set up video calling?”
- Click on Set Up
- It will ask you to download a plugin exe file (on Windows)
- Save the file, Run the file
- Enjoy your video calling
If your friend does not have video calling installed on his/her computer you have an option of leaving a video message. Cool na?
