In addition to voice calling, now you can video call all your Facebook friends and family for free through the Facebook Messenger app. Facebook has rolled out the new feature in 18 countries, as its first step to take on Google Hangouts and Skype.
“You can quickly start a video call from any conversation with just one tap. If you’re messaging with someone and realize that words just aren’t enough, you can simply choose the video icon in the top right corner of the screen and start a video call right from within an existing Messenger conversation.”
New feature will bring in plenty of new users to Messenger, since it allows Facebook users an easier way to connect with their existing friends without having to sign up with a different service.
