About video chats

Watch a video about using video chat: English

See your friends, colleagues, or family members in high-resolution, real-time video as you chat with them directly from one BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to another. You can easily share your surroundings by switching between the front-facing and rear-facing cameras. If you prefer, you can turn off video altogether at the beginning of the call for a voice-only chat.

To start a video chat, both BlackBerry PlayBook tablets must be connected to a Wi-Fi network.

All incoming and outgoing video chats, including unanswered video chat requests, are recorded in the video chat history on both tablets.
