I’m a little too self-conscious to want to use video chat. That’s an impending part of the Jetsons future that just makes me nervous. I work at home in my pajamas for half the day, after all.
However, I’m apparently in the minority, as video cameras built into computers and new ways to video chat are popping up everyday. TokBox, which currently utilizes its web site for free and easy video calling, announced a new application for Facebook Chat last week. (I think the news sort of got lost in the holiday weekend.) Tokbox has enabled video chat for Facebook as a Firefox add-on.
“We’re incredibly excited by the early feedback on the TokBox Firefox add-on,” said Nick Triantos, TokBox CEO. “This add-on will enable Facebook users to participate in live video calls with their Facebook friends, right from within the Facebook chat user interface.”
The TokBox video calling functionality for Facebook is currently available via a Firefox add-on only. Support for Internet Explorer and Safari will be available in the near future.
