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.
