Facebook has gotten quite a bit of criticism with your move on WhatsApp with whom he has obtained the phone numbers so that local businesses and companies can contact anyone through this messaging app. A debate that has arisen, since WhatsApp indicated, when it was acquired, that they would be faithful to its premises with its users.

But since this does not stop, Facebook has now launched Instant Video to Facebook Messenger, a feature for video calls that will now appear in a floating window above the chat, while you are sending text to your contacts through this messaging app that recently passed 1.000 million users.

The video can be started by clicking on the camera icon that is located next to the voice call in the upper right part of the screen; right here was what a normal video call was. At that moment a floating window that will be located on the chat as it happens with the floating bubbles of the conversations. What you want this feature is that you can continue chatting but with the video there to see your contact.

Instant Video

For this feature to be fully functional, both the caller and the recipient of the video call must have updated Facebook Messenger to the latest version, if this is not the case it will not be possible. Therefore, if you try to launch this functionality, tell your contact to go to the Google Play Store to update to the new version. One that should already be present from the Google apps and games store.

In this way, Facebook gets closer more to what is Snapchat as an app that has video as one of the means with which to address that audience and those best connections that are more suitable for this type of content.
