To start a video chat using Facebook Video Chat, just open a conversation window with a contact and click on the webcam icon. If you're using Firefox, Facebook Video Chat also requires installing an add-on which it does automatically although this requires re-starting your browser afterwards. When you've finished installation, your browser will open automatically with a message of congratulations telling you to log into Facebook. However, even if you deselect the check boxes, it still places a Babylon installer on your desktop although doesn't appear to install any of the components. It tries to install the Babylon toolbar, make Babylon your default webpage and make it your default search engine. The installation of Facebook Video Chat is a bit suspicious however.

It adds 4 extra icons to your Facebook chat dialog window - a webcam, a microphone, a games icon and a smiley. Video and audio chatting are now possible in Facebook thanks to Skype integration and Facebook Video Chat simply offers an alternative way of doing it.
