Yup, a totally legit question I’d say, why would you even want to know How To Connect Your Skype Account With Your Facebook, right?

I mean if you could just video chat on Facebook without connecting it to skype?

Yeah, you can. But well there are some ups and downs over there, probably that’s the reason both the companies invented this feature, for good.

Well in order to video chat on Facebook, you just have to hit the video call button at the top of the chatboxes to initiate the process!

Now the point is, with Facebook you have access to all the friends in your chat list, right?

That kind of clutters thing, you might not want to video chat with all of them huh?

I mean text is fine, but Video? It gets a bit more personal and not everyone’s worth it.

While on Skype, you get to choose the friends you want to video chat with!

You can just add those specific friends whom you want to, and get in touch with them.

Also, another point is, I’ve always found Skype’s video call quality is a bit better compared to Facebook’s.

So well yeah if “quality” is one of your concerns too, in that case, you’d want to know How to link Skype with Facebook.

Difference Between Facebook and Skype Video Calls:-

To be honest, I want this piece to rank for a certain keyword, that’s about how to connect Facebook and skype, but the point is I can’t rank it if it’s not long enough.

100% I’m going to show you how to connect skype to Facebook, but let me take the liberty of explaining to you what’s the difference between a Facebook and Skype Video call anyway.

  • Group Conferencing:- This is something that you can’t do with Facebook video calls. Facebook video calls are one-to-one calls.
  • No Client Installation:- Well one happy feature of FAcebook video chats is that you don’t need to install skype, in order to communicate with your Facebook friend over Skype.

So yeah those were the two major differences between Facebook and Skype Video calls!

Why was I telling you that? Cause you’re just going to link those two services, you should know what’s better and what’s not, right?

What Can I Do With Skype’s VideoCall?

So once you get your friends imported to your Skype (I’ll explain how) it’s time to take it out for a spin huh?  Technically you can do everything which you normally can do without the Facebook connect thing.

  • Instant Messages:- Of course if it lets you Live-Video-Chat, it’s mandatory for it to let you “instant message” your guys right? Yeah, that happens!
  • Schedule a call! Well yeah, you can schedule it and then be right on time!
  • Video Calls:- Of course I don’t need to explain this, right?
  • Video “messages”:- Yeah this is something that you can’t do over Facebook. You can’t send Facebook Messages (yet!), right? That you can do with Skype!
  • And lot’s more

So yeah enough reasons to let you connect Skype to Facebook huh?
