The new features include a redesigned chat interface, group chats, and the aforementioned video chat, all explained on Facebook's blog.
The group chat feature will let users chat with multiple friends at once by selecting "Add Friends to Chat." According to Facebook, 50 percent of users are using the Groups feature, for things like co-ordinating events. The feature rolls out today.
The chat redesign takes into account the size of a user's browser window and adjusts accordingly. Zuckerberg noted that users have found it difficult to start chats with the previous design. A simplified chat tab will give users "one-click access" to chatting with friends. Video chat, which the company collaborated on with Skype, lets users click a video call button at the top of their chat window in order to start the call.
