Facebook today said it is teaming up with Skype to bring video chat capabilities to users of the world's largest social network.

In a press conference at the company's Palo Alto, Calif. headquarters this afternoon, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's co-founder, unveiled the video calling and group chat capabilities.

The announcements come nearly a week after Zuckerberg teased that the company was working on an "awesome" event.

"The video calling is so great and it's so easy," said Zuckerberg, who today also confirmed reports that Facebook has surpassed 750 million users. "Your least-technical friend is going to be able to get online with video chat and get connected. You'll connect with your friends on the social network that already has all your friends."
