"You can now make video calls on Facebook, thanks to a new Skype-powered feature the social network launched Wednesday.\nDuring the product announcement, Mark Zuckerberg described how his elderly neighbor in Palo Alto asked if he could to video chat his grandson on Facebook \u2014 without the hassle of setting up a new account or downloading a program. \"Tune in,\" Zuckerberg told him. \n\nSEE ALSO: Facebook's Announcements | Facebook Video Chat | Facebook Skype Chat Video | Facebook Group Chat\nIt's not quite as seamless as Zuckerberg's neighbor was hoping, however. The first time you try to video chat someone or answer a call, you will indeed be asked to download a program. The chat window will then ask you to select some Flash settings. \nAfter that, the feature works like \"a mini-Skype client,\" as Skype CEO Tony Bates mentioned during the announcement. It also has a neat option to record a video message if the person you're calling doesn't answer. Here's a brief walk-through in pictures. Is it working for you? Let us know in the comments. \n\n\nFacebook Video Chat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore you can participate in a video chat call, go to facebook.com/videocalling to enable your account. Click on \"Get started.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou'll need to install a program. The install option will pop up when you click the video camera icon on the upper-right corner of the chat window or receive a call.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs with a standard Skype call, no video launches until the second party answers the call.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n38\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-3\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-4\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf the person who you're calling  doesn't answer, you can leave a video message. This message will appear in their \"messages\" tab, the same place that text messages do.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-6\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-7\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-8\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-9\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-10\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-11\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-12\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n-13\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is what the video chat window looks like.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
