Facebook video callingFacebook has finally started filling up the missing blanks on their social network as an answer to Google Plus Project. Together with Skype, Facebook has launched its first ever Video Calling option on there website. Facebook Users can now not only chat but they can now see their loved ones smile, wink and say lol face to face! So far there are no latency issues and video calling loads faster and works without pauses or any other pros. You don't need to install any software or application to make this function work. Below you will find some useful Facebook video calling tips.

  2. Simply click the “Set Up” button and follow the easy instructions for how to set up video calling on your favorite browser.

set up video call
  1. Visit your friend’s profile and click the “Call” button in the top right corner. You can also click the video icon at the top of the chat window.
  2. When your friend answers, be patient and wait for sometime till both your web cams are inter connected.

Thanks for sharing this in here Mohammad. When I tried this for the first time I wasn't able to connect to my immediately because he hasn't downloaded or updated his FB video calling option yet. And so it take us for a while to get connected but it was worth the wait.
