Facebook has Announced Integration of call in the video chat

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, announced today it would launch a "sensational news" in the social network. Interestingly he said that soon after Google + be launched and open for some people. Shortly after the announcement of the notice (!) A company source said it was an integration with Skype which allows video calls from the site. And that's exactly what they released today.

 
For now the feature is not integrated into all accounts, but those interested in testing it to see how they can access this page. You must download a plugin for it to be activated.

This new initiative also marks the first Skype to develop a web application. But the VoIP giant will not let this feature limited to Facebook users. The program will also be updated and will allow Skype users to chat with Facebook users and vice versa, and allow publication of comments, viewing the newsfeed is "short" posts directly from the program.
 
Besides the video call feature, Facebook also announced improvements in the system chat as the creation of group conversations and better organization of the contact list chat with the people you talk more occupying the top positions.

I tried a few times to activate the video chat in Facebook but all attempts ended with the warning error "The plugin video call encountered an error When starting". If anyone has more luck than me, please advise in the comments.
