Facebook launched Skype-powered video calling yesterday. The feature works on all major versions of Mac and Windows (Linux not supported), but doesn’t work on OS X Lion. So that we’ll guide you on how to get Facebook’s video chat feature working on Apple’s latest version of OS X.
To do that, we’ll be simply changing your browser’s user-agent:
Safari
If you’re on the latest version of Safari on Lion; go to System Preferences > Advanced and enable developer menu. You will now see a new option on the menu bar titled “Develop”, click on it. Now simply click on User Agent > Safari 5.1 – Mac. That’s it!
Also required: patting yourself on the back for a job well done. Facebook will now let you enable video chatting.
Firefox
Firefox has a pretty active plugin community so there isn’t much headache involved in fooling Facebook. All you need to do is install the User-Agent Switcher plugin from here and switch to Internet Explorer 8 from Tools.
Chrome
Since Chrome, like Firefox, has a very active plugin community, things are pretty easy. Install the User-Agent Switcher plugin from here.
Once the plugin is installed, click on its icon near the address bar and, finally, click on Internet Explorer 8.
Then go to facebook.com/videocalling and Get Started! Happy video chatting!
