You Can Make Video Calls in Facebooks Mobile App Now
Facebook is adding video calling to its Messenger app starting Monday, allowing users to chat with their friends via a button in the app. The feature, which already exists on desktop, allows video chats over both LTE and Wi-Fi and will compete with Google Hangouts, Microsoft's Skype, and Apple's FaceTime. Messenger has more than 600 million monthly active users who are making 10 of all internet-based phone calls and video calling should help it build momentum. According to Messenger's head of product, Stan Chudnovsky, developers aimed to make video work well even on low-bandwidth cell networks.
