Facebook is no stranger to video chat (http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/06/facebook-video-chat-and-skype-5-5-beta-hands-on/), but it's been keeping a low profile as of late. Well, it's no longer content to sit on the sidelines while Skype and Hangouts steal the show -- the company has just introduced video calling in Messenger (http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2015/04/introducing-video-calling-in-messenger/). Whether you're using Android or iOS, you only need to tap a single button in an existing conversation to start a face-to-face session. The feature is available today in 18 countries (including the UK and the US), so give it a shot if you're a Facebook fan and would rather not fire up another app just to see who you're talking to.
