Just a few days after Facebook officially supported the mobile video call feature for Vietnamese users, the open source browser Mozilla Firefox also added free chat and messaging features for users.

All users need is now the latest Firefox browser on Windows.

Update: Firefox Hello has been removed from Firefox version 49, so if you are using or updating to higher versions of Firefox, you cannot use Firefox Hello anymore.

Here are a few alternatives to Firefox Hello that you can try:

2. web.ciscospark.com: Create rooms for video calls, group sharing and sharing.
3. Appear.in: Group video calls up to eight people.
