Facebook Chat via Skype

Skype has already released its 5.5 Beta version and this will enable the users to connect with facebook friends and to chat with them instantly.

The new Skype for Windows 5.5 Beta includes the following features:

Facebook Instant Messaging - chat with your Facebook friends directly from Skype.


Facebook Contacts Tab- a new tab within Skype dedicated to your Facebook contacts list.

‘Like’ and even comment on a Facebook status - You can also use the Facebook News Feed within Skype to easily “like” a friend’s status or comment on it without logging into Facebook.

Simply connect your Facebook account with Skype – you can do this from within the Skype software itself – and it will then show you a list of all your Facebook friends in a new “Facebook” tab. If a friend is online, just click his name and that will start a facebook chat session.

Also you don’t have to switch to your facebook tab to see if your friend has come online.Whenever a friend is online, a notification will appear on your system tray. Facebook Skype Chat supports Facebook smileys (emoticons) too.

If you have been looking for a way to chat with your Facebook friends outside the browser, Skype is one of the best options. But this Facebook chat is available only with windows version of skype for now.
