Introduction to Facebook Video Chat

facebook-video-chatIf you were unaware, Facebook and Skype have teamed up so that you can now video chat with your Facebook friends directly from within Facebook.   The partnership has encouraged more and more people to be social and video chat with each other instead of simply sending messages to each other.

While on Facebook, in the chat box (lower right) you can start a regular chat conversation as normal.  However you will also see at the top of your chat box a small video camera icon.  Clicking on this will initiate a video conversation with that user.  See image >>

As you can see the red square indicates the location of the camera icon.   Also if you visit a friend’s profile page, you will see the option to “Call” that user too, which is the icon besides the usual “Message” and “Poke” icons.

 

Activating Video Calls for Facebook

If you do not have the “Call” icon or the camera icon in the chat box, it is possible that the Video Calls for your Facebook is not yet activated.  To activate, follow the following steps:

  1. Go to the Facebook Video Calling page (www.facebook.com/videocalling) and then click on “Get Started” button.
  2. Once you clicked on “Get Started” button, you would be asked by Facebook to select a friend from your chat to whom you want to make that call, so pick one.
  3. Now a download would start in your web browser, this would download Facebook Video call installer, run the .exe file and Facebook Video Calling plugin would get install on your PC and you can use it anytime.
  4. That’s it now every time you open your Facebook Chat, you would the small video camera icon, click on it and start your video call session, it is that simple!

 

The Unlocking method

Ok, if you’ve read this far, then I’m sure you want to know about the newly discovered hack.  This method will allow you to connect to any of your friends webcams without them knowing.  Surprise them by spying on them, and then sending them a message about what you can see.  I’m sure their facial expressions would be priceless!

  1. In order to carry out this method, you firstly need to initiate a conversation with a friend.  So start a chat message by saying something like “Hello”.
  2. Wait for your friend to reply.
  3. IMPORTANT, you must not type a reply for the next  10 seconds.  After 10 seconds (or more) have passed, send the following reply to your friend: {FBCAX}
  4. Your friend will probably say “what?” or words similar, you can then reply with any excuse you wish, such as, “whoops, I dropped my phone on my keyboard” or something.
  5. Then you need to buy yourself 5-10 minutes to perform the next task.  So say something like “hold on 5-10 minutes, I’ll be back in a moment…

 

This is the moment you need to complete the following steps.  (Please note that the steps must be completed so that this method is undetected by Facebook.  Failure to follow the steps may notify Facebook of what you are doing, and may result in your Facebook account being blocked.)
