It was not too long ago that we talked about Facebook Hello being the new Dialer App for Android, and here we are with word from Facebook that video calling in Messenger is launched – and available for the masses, of course. With this particular launch, it would mean that one will be able to enjoy face-to-face conversations with friends as well as those whom one would love to keep in touch with – and this will be done through Messenger, of course.
Starting off a video call from any conversation is a snap – and can be accomplished with just a single tap. Assuming you messaging with someone, and figured out that your vocabulary is not going to cut the mustard, just pick the video icon that is located in the top right corner of the screen, and kick off a video call right there and then within an existing Messenger conversation.
Video calling in Messenger will roll out for iOS and Android users in Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Laos, Lithuania, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Poland, Portugal, the UK, the US and Uruguay first, before making its mark in other regions and locales in due time.
Of course, there has been other product announcements from Facebook’s Messenger team as of late, where among them include the ability to send money to friends, not to mention having the Messenger Platform and Businesses on Messenger, among others.
