Facebook Calling Requirements
The Facebook mobile app and mobile website don’t support audio or video calls.
What you need is access to either the Facebook desktop website or the messaging app called Messenger.
Messenger works on computers atMessenger.com, or you could download Messenger to your machine.
It’s available for iOS andAndroid.
If you use Facebook calling over Wi-Fi, it doesn’t count against your mobile data usage.
Not all devices running the Messenger app can make video and voice calls.
Some only support text messaging.
You cannot make a video call without a camera, nor are audio calls possible without a microphone.
Your rig needs to have those pieces of hardware either built-in or plugged in externally to call another user.
If you use a web web app for the Facebook call, pop-up blockers might interfere with the call.
Chrome also needs to allow pop-ups for Facebook or Messenger to ensure that calls can come through.

Similar steps are necessary for Android and other mobile devices.
