Friendcam - Voice and Video Chat in FacebookChatting in Facebook is getting similar to other internet messengers. We talked about an application named Friendcam but it has been removed by facebook. Though the chat worked, it may have somehow violated facebook policies.

However the application is back again with a new location. I don’t know why it was removed by facebook and whether the newer one will be removed or not. The voice and video chat works on this new application as well. You can try the new application on http://apps.facebook.com/friendcameo for Voice and Video chat.

Some news on the web suggest that Facebook has been developing Voice and Video chat by themselves. Wait till then or you may search for other applications for Video chat on facebook.

    This is a great post. However, you got the Facebook location wrong.

    The correct location is: http://apps.facebook.com/friendcameo

    Just making sure! :)

    Cool post. Friendcam is good and I hope they keep making it better.

    I also read those rumors about FB and video; but all of them are more than a year old. All the images that I see are from Google Chrome’s stuff; so it has led my friends and I believe that those few posts about FB coming out with video were inaccurate.

    Either way, I’m glad we have this for now. Good start.

      yes, the news was 1 yr old. Facebook at that time had said that it was working on video & voice chat but later cancelled the plan. Maybe they’ll work on this on upcoming days. But for now Friendcam seems cool.

        This is a cool link. Tried the 3-way video conferencing and it works. The only thing is that it looks a little different from the picture you posted. Maybe you should update the blog post? I’m forwarding this post to my friends. Keep it up.

        I just went to the application and I just noticed that it has a company website. Have you seen this?
