Facebook Messenger launches its video calls in Spain
During the last days of February the company Facebook launched a new function through its own messaging application. It was about video calls Thus, the rumors came true, but pointing to the application Facebook Messengerand not to the acquired WhatsApp regarding this feature. After a few weeks of tests and advances, these video calls are landing in our country to be able to hold video and audio conferences with our family and friends at any time and from any place.
And that is, in an application where text messages, audio, photos and videos and even free calls were already available, just one more step to go. Even more so after having transformed from an application to a platform Term with which Facebook wants to that other applications can also be used through Facebook Messenger to maintain communication that is more fun, close, or efficientAccording to the possibilities offered to developers.
Now these video calls are available to all users of the Facebook Messenger applications for both Android as for iPhone and iPad in SpainThis means having a new way of communication in which to transmit video and audio at the same timereciprocally between two users. A more direct communication than involves no expense, since it only uses data from Internet as the messaging itself. Of course, using this function through the data rate of the user can mean a large consumption of it, in addition to a not so fluid operation as through networks WiFi , where it is recommended to use this function.
The operation of video calls in Facebook Messenger is really simple, integrating perfectly into this application. Of course, it is only possible to make individual video calls. Simply access a chat or conversation and click on the camcorder icon on the top of the screen, located right next to the phone for the usual free calls.
Once the other party answers the video call, their image is seen on most of the screen, leaving a small frame for the user's own camera, thus being able to see his image at the same time that he retransmits it. That is, the usual scheme for this function already seen in other applications such as Skype
With this, Facebook continues to grow in the field of messaging and communication, hitting other tools like Viber , Hangouts or the aforementioned Skype And it is more likely to find users on this network social network so massive that it forces other users to download different applications to be able to video call themselves Something that is clearly detrimental to other tools. Of course, we must not lose sight of the fact that Hangouts, for example, has the option of making video calls or group videoconferences ; or that Viber also has other functions, stickers and differentiating tools.But perhaps not as powerful as having a user base of over a billion.
In any case, Facebook Messenger users already have these video calls available on your smartphones and tablets Just make sure you have the latest version of this application by downloading it from Google Play or App Store for free
