My question is how I can do video calls on Facebook, I'm new to Linux, recently installed Ubuntu 11.10. I really like the OS but I can not make video calls on Facebook and this is terrible. Please anyone who can help in this.

Thanks

Aren't Facebook video calls available only on Windows?. – Uri Herrera Jan 18 '12 at 22:29
"This is terrible" Let's be positive. – ObsessiveSSOℲ Aug 17 '12 at 15:55

Unfortunately, Facebook does not support video calling on Ubuntu yet, as explained on the Facebook Help Center. They haven't developed their plugin yet.

However, video calling (popularly known as Hangouts) works on Google+, for example (after installing a plugin).

Facebook does not currently support linux. If u were to go to someone's profile, u would only see 'message' and settings. We can only wait for Facebook to accept linux. As Agmenor mentioned, video calls are available for Google+ and also for Skype
