Facebook to launch a Skype powered in-browser video chat feature next week


Facebook has been sending out invites about an "awesome" feature coming to Facebook next week. July 6th is the date that the event will be happening and since the invites sport chat messaging icons on them then it should have something to do with Facebook's messaging/chat or whatnot feature, right? Well, according to TechCrunch, Facebook will indeed launch an in-browser video chat feature that will be done in partnership with Skype.


"The product has been built on Skype and will include a desktop component. It’s not clear to me whether that means it will just work if a user has Skype already installed on the computer, or if additional software will need to be downloaded even if the user already uses Skype. But it’s clear that there’s very deep integration between the products, and from the user’s perspective, the product will be an in browser experience." - TechCrunch
Expect your's truly to be reporting on this launching come July 6th. Today, this is what we all can do, speculate.
