Skype’s Big Blog announced that in its partnership with Facebook, it is now possible to make video chat with Facebook friends right from within Facebook.

“This is an exciting step for us as it represents Skype's first big step on the Web, and because we know this has the potential to unlock even more conversations and make the experience on the Web even more social,” the Blog said.

The partnership with Facebook gives Skype an opportunity to offer voice and video calling products to more than 750 million active users on Facebook.

To get started, users should just set their Facebook Chat status to "online". They can initiate a Facebook video call right from the Chat box or can click on their friend's Profile and if friend is online, a "Call" button will appear at the top right of friend’s Profile page. If a friend does not answer, user can leave them a video message. The recorded video message will be waiting in friend's Inbox the next time he/she checks Messages.
