No I do mean facebook. It is called video chat round. I checked in synaptic package I see there is some thing
installed with the facebook in there. But What is it I need to get it to work??

I got it to work. Left click on it and go to global settings Global Security Settings panel
click on web site security settings and click on rounds and always allow it. Done
