The video chatting feature was rolled out a week after Google introduced its social networking site Google+.
It is very easy to to get started with Facebook video chat. Users have to run a one time setup available at Facebook website. After installing the setup one can see the video option available on their chat screen, or on the profile of a friend.
Facebook now has 750 million users. The new service, rolling out immediately, could be a huge boost for Skype, which currently has about 145 million regular users.

While many of Google+’s social networking features are similar to those already available on Facebook, Google has attracted praise for its videoconferencing function, which allows up to 10 people on the service to participate in a video call.
