Facebook Video chat: Initial Impressions
Facebook has today announced Video Calling in the partnership with Skype. We’ve put it through its paces and have developed a few initial impressions and observations for you.
Weve tested out Facebook Video Calling feature and it works very simply and with minimal fuss. The overall quality is not as good as a native Skype session, although Facebook has stated that the Video calling app is essentially a mini-Skype client. The window that launches when you begin a video session is a standalone application and can be moved, resized and made full-screen. You can also use the Video Calling application after closing Facebook, it really is its own app.
