Facebook and Skype have teamed up to provide video chat for users of both platforms. Now instead of just text chatting with your friends, customers and clients, you can now video chat with them using Facebook. Rolled out around the same time Google+ launched offering, 'Hangouts,' which is a multi-user video chat feature, video chat for Facebook is now available for you to try with your friends, customers and colleagues.

In addition to being fun to chat with your pals on Facebook, video chatting provides an opportunity for those who are marketing their products or services on this popular social media platform.

Here are a few tips that you can try to make the most of Facebook's new video chat feature:

To get started with Skype video calling on Facebook, you can look for the video call icon in the upper right-hand corner of the window, or if you are text chatting and want to switch to video, there is a little video icon in the top blue bar of the chat widget window. All you need is a laptop with a webcam and you are ready to go.

For the moment, the Facebook video chat feature is a one-to-one video chat with no option for adding other friends into the call. If you try to initiate a video call to a friend and they are not available to chat, you can record a video message for them.

So, how will you use Skype video chat for your online business? You can use it to provide customer service with a personal touch. If your customers have questions about your products you can answer them live with video. Customers who are considering making a purchase can get their questions answered by a real, live person right before their eyes. Do you think that might be an effective way to handle some of your potential customers' objections?

In addition to meeting with potential and current customers, Facebook's video chat is a great way to network with colleagues. You can arrange a video chat with potential JV partners and meet in the closest approximation to face-to-face as is possible without traveling.

Skype video calling on Facebook just shows one more way to enhance communications between you and your customers and colleagues. Because almost everyone is already on Facebook it makes it convenient because you don't have to log into yet another application and best of all, it's free.
If video calling on Facebook eventually adds the group chat capabilities that Google+ already has with its Hangouts, you'll be able to use Facebook video calling for business meetings, webinars and conference sessions.

Incorporating video chat into your overall video marketing strategy can generate impressive results for your business. For more tips about building and growing your Internet marketing business, visit, http://mcreasite.com/blog today.
