There are videos below on Facebook’s video chat features and a test drive video showing how to use Facebook’s new feature.
Facebook partnered with Skype to bring the new feature online to the more than 750 million registered users. The video below demonstrates how easy it is to use the video chat feature.

Facebook video chat drawbacks
There’s only one drawback to FB’s video chat. You can only chat with one person at a time. Google’s Google+ allows users to video chat with up to 10 people at once. Click on the link above to see videos on Google’s Hangouts features.When I started researching this blog post I didn’t want to mention Google’s chat feature but if I didn’t it would have been a disservice to my readers.
Google’s chat feature is superior to Facebook’s because Google allows users to include up to 10 people in the chat window. Facebook has plans to integrate multiple users as well. See the text after the videos.

When will Facebook video chat catch up to Google?
When will the multi-chat feature be available on Facebook? Journalists and industry professionals are speculating that it could take up to a year for Facebook to get it online. I doubt that it will take FB a year to get multi-chat online. |
| Mark Zuckerberg |
Mark Zuckerberg is not an executive that likes to be left behind. He likes to lead, and I bet that by year’s end Facebook will have the multi-chat feature up and running.
Facebook video chat, Skype and Microsoft
Facebook is not alone on this one. Skype, which is in the process of being acquired by Microsoft and has more than 100 million active users online and Microsoft owns 1.6 percent of Facebook.So it is to Microsoft’s benefit to get the ball rolling on this one as soon as possible.
"We have a very longstanding relationship with Microsoft," said Zuckerberg, who noted that Facebook had actually been working with Skype prior to Microsoft's acquisition.
