Yet another salvo in the instant mobile video war has been fired. This time, it’s Facebook Messenger that has launched ‘Instant Video.’ It allows video conversations in real time, said a post on the FB blog.
Here’s how it works:
1st make sure that both you & your friend have the latest version of Messenger for either iOS or Android. Then, while both of you are viewing an open Messenger conversation, tap on the video icon in the top right corner to start sharing real time video. Audio is off by default because sometimes you just need to see something, not hear it — but sound can easily be turned on if you choose. Your video will float over the active text conversation that you can continue while viewing the video. Your friend can watch your video stream & share a video back if they decide.
