This new development in the Skype Facebook partnership is the latest example of how Skype is removing communication barriers and making it easier to connect with friends, family and business colleagues.

Facebook video calling powered by Skype was launched.

Skype announce our partnership with Facebook has reached yet another milestone with the launch of Skype 5.4 Beta for Mac and Skype 5.7 Beta for Windows allowing you to conduct a Facebook to Facebook call from within Skype.

Our approach to social is about personal connections with people.

We are on a mission to connect over one billion people and our continued partnership with Facebook brings us one step closer to this goal.

Initiating a Facebook to Facebook call from within Skype is quite easy all you need to do is connect your Skype and Facebook accounts.

Then, select a Facebook friend and hit the video call button in Skype your friend simply picks up the call from Facebook.

This new feature lets you maintain social connections with your Facebook friends and compliments previously announced features such as being able to see when your Facebook friends are online.
