    Video Calling Websites

    Apart from Skype and Facebook Messenger does anyone know of any websites that allow video calling from a laptop?

    The family here have had a once a month Skype chat with my sister in Oman since she moved out there 12 years ago, but earlier this year her Skype was blocked. Oman is one of the countries that has banned Skype, so its a wonder she wasn't blocked sooner.

    So we tried the video call option in Facebook Messenger and found it worked if we both used Chrome. That worked ok a few times but now her video camera "can't be found". At least we could still do a voice only call and she could see us.

    There is the option of me upgrading to a smartphone so I can use Whatsapp video calling.
