Definition: video chat
Communicating visually with another person via computer. The term came from chat systems that evolved from typing only text to incorporating two-way video. Although the terms video chat, "video calling" and "videoconferencing" are used synonymously, the term video chat tends be used when video calling is integrated into an existing service. For example, when Facebook integrated Skype video calling in 2011, it said it was adding video chat. See video calling, video instant messaging and videoconferencing.
