Facebook recently announced the launch of their in-browser video calling powered by Skype. Some of the new features that will be supplementing the video feature include the following: See The Friends You Message MostThe new chat design includes a sidebar that lists the people you message most. Now it’s easier to find your friends and start a conversation. The sidebar adjusts with the size of your browser window, and it automatically appears when the window is wide enough. Create a Group Chat InstantlyWe’re also launching multi-person chat, which is one of our most requested features. Now when your friends can’t figure out what movie to see, you can just add them to a chat and decide together. To include more friends in your conversation, simply select Add Friends to Chat and just like your other chats, the history of your conversation is available in messages. Bring Your Conversations to LifeVideo chat has been around for years now, but it’s still not an everyday activity for most people. Sometimes it’s too difficult to set up, or the friends you want to talk to are on different services. The Facebook video feature will be a direct competitor to many other video apps such as Apple’s FaceTime and it seems to have an edge too. The ability to be able to video call people directly through the browser allows Facebook to reach a slew of new users who don’t actively use video calling applications such as Skype’s stand-alone application, Face Time, Oovoo, etc. This will probably prove to be a very successful partnership between Facebook and Skype. Hopefully Facebook plans to bring these new video calling features to its rumored iPad application. You can get video calling enabled by hitting the link below. Read More Authors:
