It’s here!
Facebook just ended their live broadcast of the new features they are launching.
You can watch the Facebook video here:
The big Facebook announcements were:
- New chat design
- Group chat instantly
- Video chat with your friends
This is from Facebook’s blog as to what these features do:
“See The Friends You Message Most”
The new Facebook chat design includes a sidebar that lists the people you message most. Now it’s easier to find your friends and start a conversation. The sidebar adjusts with the size of your browser window, and it automatically appears when the window is wide enough.
Create a Facebook Group Chat Instantly
We’re also launching multi-person chat, which is one of our most requested features. Now when your friends can’t figure out what movie to see, you can just add them to a chat and decide together. To include more friends in your conversation, simply select Add Friends to Chat.
Bring Your Conversations to Life
Video chat has been around for years now, but it’s still not an everyday activity for most people. Sometimes it’s too difficult to set up, or the friends you want to talk to are on different services.
So a few months ago, we started working with Skype to bring video calling to Facebook. We built it right into chat, so all your conversations start from the same place. To call your friend, just click the video call button at the top of your chat window. Below is a video showing you how to use it:”
After you connect this is what the video chat will look like:
So.. What are your initial thoughts about these new Facebook features? Will you use the video chat?
