Group Facebook Video Chat

Yesterday, I showed you how to video chat with Facebook. (Click here to read that article.)

But you don’t have to limit your video chat to just two people. Up to 50 people can be part of a chat, though you can only see six at a time.

Open Facebook and click on the Message icon at the top.  If you already have a group chat going, you can open it.
