Facebook Video Call By Skype Installation
First off, lets look at how you go about getting the feature installed. Facebook claimed at the press conference that installation was a quick and easy process that would take less than 30 seconds, no matter what system and broadband connection you were using. A bold claim.
MacBook Pro (2010) running Mac OS X 10.5.8 with Firefox 5 had no issues, however when it was tried out on an older laptop, there were some issues. Using a 2008 MacBook running Mac OS X 10.4.11 and using Firefox 3.6.18 we were unable to set up video-calling. Having visited the facebook/videocalling site and followed the instructions, we got an error message saying an error had occurred. When we clicked the Try Again button, a .jar file was downloaded to our desktop. When we ran the program a progress bar appeared but soon another error message appeared stating: "Video calling has encountered an error during installation.
