Few months back, we posted on Facebook Video Calling and how to enable this service and start making video calls on Facebook. Well the tutorial came out really well and many people started making video calls on Facebook.
However a lot of people are still deprived of video calling feature of facebook because of certain issue they faced. In this post we will cover the common issues that people have faced.

1. Facebook Video Chat requires a one time setup, however just to ensure that it is enabled in your account : follow tutorial in this post. Make sure that you have done the one time setup properly.
2. Video calling works best with the latest versions of the following browsers:
Mozilla, Firefox,
Google Chrome,
Internet Explorer,
Safari.
Note that video calling for Linux is not currently supported. You will need to use one of these browsers in a Mac or Windows operating system.
3. Check your webcam : Make sure it is working properly and any other program is not using it.

5. I am assuming that your hardware is compatible. Facebook video calls use Skype.

Ans : When you are available for chat, you are also available for video calling. Keep in mind that only confirmed friends can call you on Facebook, and you always have the option to ignore any call you receive.
