Video Calling Integrated into Facebook Chat

By Andrew Redfern @ 4th July 2008 2:16 pm

TokBox, a first-of-its-kind web-based video communication product that makes it effortless for anyone to make a video call for free, today announced that it has created a video communication application for Facebook Chat, making it as easy and convenient for users to video chat with their Facebook friends as it is to instant message them.

For the first time, TokBox is enabling video communication within Facebook Chat via a Firefox add-on, allowing users to video call anyone in their network of friends.

“We’re incredibly excited by the early feedback on the TokBox Firefox add-on. 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,” said Nick Triantos, TokBox CEO. “Our team has been focusing on ways to make our tools easier to use and much better integrated into the flow of how people use the web.

We’re really happy that the millions of Facebook users can now experience video chat so easily.”

The TokBox video calling functionality for Facebook is currently available via a Firefox add-on only, available at
http://www.tokbox.com/plugins. The add-on is free, small and safe, and enables powerful tools for video communication right through people’s web browsers.

TokBox’ add-on marks the first attempt to make video calling a part of the Mozilla Firefox and Facebook user interface. Support for Internet Explorer and Safari will be available in the near future.

Since launch in October 2007, TokBox has grown rapidly and is already being used in a variety of interesting ways: from online dating to staying in touch with far away family, to people communicating face-to-face from around the world, to music artists speaking with their fans on MySpace, to software development teams collaborating remotely.

In addition to usage on TokBox.com, users can add a video communication element by embedding TokBox on relevant applications like blogs, social networks, and commerce and community sites.
