In an address streamed live on Facebook earlier today Mark Zuckerberg introduced several updates to Facebook Messages: Video Calling, Group Chat, and a new Chat design.
– Video Calling: Together with Skype, you can now video call your friends on Facebook for simple real-time face to face conversations.
– Group Chat: One of our most requested features is the ability to chat with multiple people at once. Now you can have conversations with more than one person on the fly for quick group discussion.
– New Design: With the new chat design, people can see a sidebar that shows the friends they message most, whether on or offline. Simply click on a friend to start chatting or send a message.
Here’s the full announcement video…
