Last month, Facebook launched a free video calling feature in its Messenger app so you can set up face-to-face conversations with your family and friends with just one tap. Facebook Messenger's video calling feature started in 18 countries, including Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Laos, Lithuania, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Oman, Poland, Portugal, the U.K., the U.S. and Uruguay. Facebook Messenger's free video calling feature has now rolled out worldwide, according to Facebook's Vice President of Messaging Products David Marcus.

Marcus pointed out that there are a few countries that do not have access to the free video calling service due to quality issues, especially since the feature does not require a WiFi connection. Marcus said that he "would love to offer the service in UAE, but operators are blocking it."
