SMILE! You are about to be on camera.
Facebook announced on Wednesday that it will be integrating a new feature together with Skype called, simply, video calling.
How does it work? Whenever you browse over to a friend’s profile, you’ll see a new button between the ‘Message’ and ‘Poke’ buttons that says ‘Call’.
If you click on that, the other user will see a popup asking if they want to accept a call, and you’ll be immediately connected.
There is a small plugin you will need to install the first time you use it.
Video calling will also be a part of Facebook chat that already exists.
Here’s the interesting part of this announcement- it comes a week after the launch of Google+ (Google Plus) which includes a feature called “Hangouts” that allows users to video chat in groups.
Have you tried it yet? Let us know!
We here at BackstageOL.com “LIKE” this new feature…get it?
