Facebook has rolled out a new update to its Messenger app that now let’s Windows 10 users make voice and video calls.

The update is similar to what users on Android and iOS have been able to do so far. Until now, a user had to leave Messenger for Windows 10 and go to messenger.com or facebook.com to make voice or video calls.

Like on Messenger for Android and iOS, the phone icon in the top right corner of the screen in the Windows 10 app during a chat glows green when the other person is currently active.

Once you’re inside the call, you can choose which camera to use, and of course there are the usual buttons to mute yourself, enable video capture, and hang up.

 In July, Facebook said 10 per cent of all Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls went through the Messenger.

Unlike Messenger for Android and iOS, the Messenger desktop app doesn’t give you options to set a reminder or send a message to the other person when a call is coming in.

“Currently, the Windows Phone app does not have voice and video calling,” a Microsoft spokesperson was quoted as saying. Recently, Facebook updated WhatsApp for Windows Phone that let users make video calls.
