How To Make Facebook Movie Calls on a Chromebook
It’s now possible to make Facebook Movie Calls on a Chromebook out of the box, no plugin download or workaround needed.
A latest switch in the way the Facebook movie calling feature works means Chrome OS users can make and receive webcam talks with friends on the social network automatically.
Facebook movie talk previously required a plugin to be downloaded and installed – a plugin only made available for Windows and Mac OS X.
As OMG! Ubuntu! notes, the switch to WebRTC-based movie calling — the same technology Microsoft is using to bring Skype to the web — means anyone on any system can meet up to talk to their Facebook friends.
The only requirement is that both users are using a modern browser tooled with WebRTC capabilities (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Opera).
How to Use Facebook Talk on a Chromebook
Now Facebook Movie Calling works on a Chromebook, let’s take a quick look at how to make use of it.
Very first, open Chrome, go to Facebook and log in with your regular account information.
Next, find a contact in your talk list who is available to talk (and doesn’t mind you calling them). In the talk window click the ‘camera’ icon in the upper-right corner.
Clicking on this will begin the call and a separate window will open.
The very first time you make a call you’ll be asked to “permit” Facebook to use your webcam and microphone. Click the ‘Permit’ button in the info-bar prompt to proceed.
Facebook will now ring your contact. While you wait for them to pick up you can mute you microphone and turn your webcam off by hovering over the call window and clicking the suitable button.
You’ll then be connected to the person you’ve called.
To end the call either click the crimson phone icon or close the window. That’s all there is to it!
Attempt it out on your Chrome device and let us know how you find the practice and call quality and whether it was worth the three year wait!
