Facebook Messenger Launches Group Video Chat ⇥ techcrunch.com

Facebook’s acquisition of Masquerade adds face-tracked effects as well, giving Messenger a fun blend of Snapchat and Skype. I’m genuinely surprised that Apple hasn’t added group video chat to FaceTime yet, nor taken greater advantage of the effects in Photo Booth.

Update: Kik also added six-way video calling today.
