  1. Hi i am also facing the same trouble….
    please help to resolve it………

    Every time I click on https://www.facebook.com/videocalling to install video calling, instead of seeing the “Get Started” button, I see “Video calling will be available soon
    Please check back later.” I’ve been trying to install it for days now, any idea why this may be?

Also I have the setup file but don’t know is it ok to upload else were or not, So I am not sharing with anyone. You need setup file once to start video calling.

  5. Hello Manish,

    It’s working for me only if my friends calling me from the US. I have reinstalled my Facebook video calling plugin twice but still I can’t see the video calling ICON on my home page or chat window. Also, I asked many of friends who are put up in Bangalore they are also facing the same problem. Do you have any idea how to sort out this problem?
