Video Call on Facebook

Haha, now I am too confused whether to get it or not. People say its a virus yet sounds cool. I never heard any feedbacks about it from my friends, so I don't know.. Haha I'll just wait first if I ever get my laptop...lol.

Well from the previous member post, i think it is quite a few month already. Facebook never sent this information to your E-Mail or Inbox, so little of us know about this information. But if you use facebook chat, you will find the option in the top right corner ( the first icon ). See my picture attachment in the main topic discussion for the print screen.

i doubt it was a virus since you access it directly from facebook ( if you see my attachment you will now that it was located in facebook chat ). I also never read any review about the facebook video call, and no body seems really care. Since no one trying, i think it will be a while before we heard about the quality of the video call in facebook chat.

It has been online for at least 3 or 4 months. I was told by a friend of mine. Downloaded the software, but don't really use it.

I have no idea if it is country specific. All I know is that it is available in India. So even if it is country specific, not many countries would be left out. Just my opinion, though.

is it country specific ? because the feature is really wonderful if that work

I think so too,because people have complain about it already. but some are using it,even though it slow down their computer.But i don't think i will use it in the near future ,so i hope it fail so that people can go back to what they use to Skype and messengers.

Oh so it actually slow down our computer? Well it makes me not want to use it more. I always prefer yahoo messenger or skype for voice call or / and video call. So knowing it very slow make me not want to use it more. Thanks for the review my friend.

Yes, the problem with Facebook Video Call is that it need to be set up first. And since it is kinda a hassle, people rarely set it up. Since very few people set it up, people feel kinda lazy to use it. Especially those who already accustomed with Skype and other Messenger. So, as long there is only few people that set it up, i think this feature will end up a failure.

Have you tryed it already?

No, Not Yet. I don't have friend who want to do some video chat in facebook. They don't set it up yet. They prefer video call in Skype or Yahoo Messenger. That is why, if any of you already try it, you should share it with us. So i can promote how good ( or bad ) the video call in Facebook.

I am agree with you, you really really should check this out. And after you check this out, kindly share it with us the experience of using it. The Quality of the video call, the bandwith it use, the resource it takes. And any other useful information. Thanks for participating in the discussion.

No. after the collabration of skype with microsoft, facebook uses the same platform of skype. so i think it does have a good video audio clarity. i didnt used it, because skype is still the best. it has better reception than any other. and most friends are on skype, yup they are in facebook too. but they dont want to opt facebook. skype has the trick guys! but mind it both facebook and skype are same company Microsoft.

if they the same company, it will be smart break trough. got new user from facebook who never use skype like me.

Well this the first time i actually hear that skype and facebook video call using the same platform. But since i using skype already, and no one actually using the facebook video call, i think i stick with skype for now. I also ( most of the time ) called my friend oversea using skype since it is very cheap, so it is most practical to stick with it.

Well it is a messenger, that mean you can chat with your friend. But skype is ultimate function is to do voice call and video call. You can even call to a land line and cell phone ( but calling land phone and cell phone will cost you some money ). You should try it, the quality of the call is much better than yahoo messenger.

Well yes, most of the time, Video Call will take much bandwith. Even a simply voice call with out video take much of your bandwith, so it is not an option for those which slow or not unlimited internet connection. If you currently only using yahoo messenger, i suggest if you want a video call or simply a voice, try to use Skype Instead. It has a much better quality than yahoo messenger.

Yeah i heard about skype before but never had a chance to try it before. Also no one of my friend ever mentioned about using it before, so i almost dont know about the feature of skype. Is it a messenger like Yaho messengger too or have more feature?

Well every person have a different need. I actually like video chatting. Since it is fun to see your face friend when you are talking to them. It is by far, more useful than a smiley that a text messenger have. But off course, video call also have a negative value like using too much bandwith and etc.

Well this is really are a new feature. But Facebook actually never make any announcement about this, in e-mail or in our inbox. I know it from the facebook chat, i see a new account which show a video call options in the facebook chat. I upload the print screen in my main post. Hope it help you found it. Anyway, from the previous comment, i read that facebook video call and skype using the same platform, so i think it will be as good as skype. Because for me Skype is the best software for Video Call, i think it will be great. But since most of my friend in facebook never set up the video call, i think it will be a while before i ever us that function.

Well you actually not the only one. There is a lot of people who doesn't know that this feature is exist. I think because facebook never really make any big announcement about this. I never actually try it too since i don't have any friend in facebook who already set it up. I guess We will need some more time to see some review.

Oh, so you like to communicate with your mother in law using facebook and skype? Well this is strange, because from what i know, most people doesn't really close with their mother in law ( or am i watching too much drama ). Anyway good for you, and like you i think i will stick with skype. Thanks for responding to this discussion.

@katie0 : I never tell you that this is a virus, but if you actually installed it and have found a strange activity in your PC. Please let us know. Because i already download the installer, but not yet installed it. I feel lazy since no one actually set it up. @dabangladehi : Thanks for sharing this information with us. I think we can be assured that it is not a virus since we have your testimony about the program.
