Yes, you can now make video call on Blackberry Messanger
(Though for Andriod and IOS).
Recall BlackBerry announced in late April that it would be
rolling out BBM’s video calling feature to users on Android and iOS. Since
then, the company has gone ahead to make it possible for users in several countries
to be able to make calls using its popular messaging service.
Users of BlackBerry Messenger in the US and Canada were the
first to get the ability to make video calls in beta mode in early May. 26
Latin American countries followed on June 1st and 7 days later,
BlackBerry made
it possible for BBM users in 17 Middle East countries to make calls across all
major mobile platforms. Starting two days ago (June 14th), BBM users in 109
countries in Africa and Europe are now able to do the same as well.
In order for users to be able to chat via video on BBM, they
need to be using a device with an Android version not older than version 4.4 (KitKat)
and iOS 8 and above on Apple’s platform. Since the video calling feature is
enabled through a server-side update, users need not do anything; it will just
show up, no need to update the app on the store.
BBM is still struggling with a strong competitor - Whatsapp
which has also been rumored to be working on a video calling feature as well.
