At last, Facebook released its newest feature, Facebook Video Chat. Worked together with Skype, now Facebook is available for you to communicate using Video Chat service just like Video Call on Skype or WebCam on Yahoo Messenger. Actually, this video chat rumor have been heard from a year ago, but now finally this feature is available for all Facebook user all around the world.The cooperation between Facebook and Skype doesn’t make the Facebook users to have or to make Skype account to make a video call to their friends. And also, Facebook users don’t need to install any additional application to use this video chat, all they have to do is to just install a plug-in on Facebook, since this video calling feature is browser-based and users can simply use it.
Facebook’s video chat feature also supports multiple users video call (Group Video Chat), but Skype will give an extra payment for this. However, it’s completely free if you chat with just only a friend.
