Skype for Facebook | Video Chat on iPad, Mac, Windows
With so many social websites, it is really difficult to ad friends/buddies in all of them. What's nice is integration of all the main features of these social networking websites into a single platform. Facebook is sort of trying to do so. We all are already using Skype and yes we are on facebook as well. The calling and video chat feature of Skype integration with Facebook, is a great combo.Today we will look at the Skype video chat feature with Facebook.
You can now call your Facebook buddies through Skype. The new Mac and PC editions of Skype allow you to view your Facebook news feed (friends' status updates, links, photos and the like) from a 'home page', as well as contact Facebook friends in one of three ways: instant message, voice call and full fat video call.To get started on calling facebook buddies via Skype, open the contacts window in Skype. You will notice a new Facebook section. It will lists all the facebook online friends (the friends also using Skype with facebook will be marked at green). You can make a voice call or a video call.
Alternatively, you can call your friends mobile or landline as well. This is possible only if they've added them to their Facebook profile.
This is basically using Facebook from your Skype account (calls are made via Skype). That is facebook video call feature is added to Skype software. Making Video calls from facebook directly using Skype is already available.
