Desperate to increase video chat usage, Facebook is testing out a "Call" button on top of people's timeline profiles. I don't think I've received a Facebook video chat since Facebook partnered with Skype to launch the feature a year ago, but now that might change. If a friend is online on the desktop version of Facebook, those in the test see a "Call" button next to that friends name on their profile , while previously a tiny videocamera icon in the text chat window was basically the only way to start a video chat.
