Now that Facebook has unveiled its Skype-powered video chat service, we can ask: How does it compare to Google’s new video chat product, Google+ Hangouts?
Last week, the search giant unveiled its social network, which in turn is a collection of new Google products. One of them, Hangouts, allows up to 10 people to simultaneously engage in a group chat. The main video feed switches based on who is speaking in the microphone. We’ve previously said that Hangouts may be Google+’s killer feature.

On Wednesday, Facebook responded with one-on-one video chat powered by Skype. (You can access the video-calling feature here: facebook.com/videocalling.) The social network touts how easy it is to initiate a Facebook video chat. And since Facebook has 750 million users, it’s likely to be a popular product with the masses.
