Skype voice PSTN calling to bring Facebook as part of a future improvement of the video call service, Skype executives confirmed Wednesday.
But if Skype users are required to use credits Facebook for their payment services is an open question, they said.
Facebook has announced a review of its role in Google Groups on Wednesday, with its main feature the addition of video chat. The new features are deployed over 750 million users of Facebook slowly over the next few days.
According to Philip Su, a Facebook engineer who worked on the development team, users often messages to each other from time to time receives a request to test the video call feature.
Its also said that the characteristics of the next version of the Facebook integration, Skype has not been defined yet. However, Scott Miller, director of global business development for Skype, said PCMag. com on Wednesday that the company plans to add calling PSTN phones, a capability that integrates with Gmail Google late last year.
Bringing Skype to the Facebook mobile application is also a "high priority," said Miller. He offered no timetable for that capacity.
The goal: simplicity
For now, Facebook Skype integration is relatively simple compared to the features that the PC Skype client provides. Facebook new video calling feature allows users to click on a video icon within the Facebook chat window. If a user does not have the Skype application is already enabled, he or she can download in 30 seconds and in operation, the executives said.
"This is by far the easiest way to connect via video," said Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's chief executive, during the launch on Wednesday. "If it were easier, would be like reading your mind."
And that's the mantra of guidance for the integration of Facebook, Skype, executives said, ease of use. This means that many features of Windows and Mac offer Skype customers can not do on Facebook. "Our first concern is the user experience," said Miller.
Skype 5.3 for Windows includes video calls, high-definition video calls with a maximum group of five participants, and a new audio codec called SILK. And that's not all: Skype also lets you share your screen, phone cards, and call with Skype To Go, Wi-Fi in airports and other public places, including lessons in anything from a new language for relations with Skype Prime.
Mobile applications allow you to call PC to phone and PC to PC and smartphone to smartphone. Skype 5.3, even make video calls between iPhones and Android phones as possible.
"Our goal is not to create something so big," Su said in an interview. "Our goal is much broader reach."
Facebook can not have an answer to meeting places for some time
That means the group video call can be a time of rest. Zuckerberg and Bates said the primary video interaction was one to one communication, echoed Miller's position. However, one analyst said that Facebook has to offer the features that Gmail.
"Google has an advantage because venues is much stronger," said Susan Etlinger, an industry analyst for the Altimeter Group. And, he said, Google also has an advantage because the number of robust applications that interact with Gmail, which has become its own IM client with video and text chat as well as by calling PSTN.
Vivox, the company behind the other VoIP application for Facebook, Sleigh, said he has a roadmap for video chat, but could offer no timetable. "Vivox is excited to work with our partners for integrated video chat, where appropriate, several online communities, social networks, online games, virtual worlds, etc.-in the near future. We believe that a wide range of communication options (video , voice, instant messaging, synchronous and asynchronous) is needed to really give users a "voice" regardless [of] the communication method of choice; Vivox will always strive to provide most of the focus without natural fissures as possible, "he said in a statement.
The question, Etlinger said, is whether Skype reach similar agreements with other services, to expand its own reach and help drive revenue. Google, meanwhile, plans to make the underlying technology in venues open, interoperable, real-time Google tech communications Justin Uberti, wrote in his blog over the weekend.
Tony Bates, CEO of Skype, told reporters Wednesday that the company plans to add payment services at a future date, which means that most of SkypeOut, where users can call landlines and mobile phones at low cost. (PC-to-PC calls, including video calls, is free.)
The question is whether Facebook will Credits Facebook virtual currency mandatory for use Skype. On July 1, the use of appropriations for Facebook became mandatory for developers. Facebook has 30 percent of all transactions with the virtual currency and awards 70 percent for developers.
"We will explore," said Miller of Skype, who declined to elaborate. "I'm sure I'll encourage."
In 2010, Facebook said it has partnered with Skype to Skype 5.0, which allows users to log on to Facebook and then connect with friends using the Skype application. In June, the Justice Department approved the acquisition of $ 8,500,000,000 of Skype by Microsoft.
