Use The Facebook Chat Box Without Opening Facebook.Com

If you want to use the Facebook chat box then you have to open the Facebook.com. You can’t acces the Facebook chat box without open the facebook.com. Now you have to start text or video conversations with Facebook friends installing any IM software. But the only issue is that you need to be on the Facebook.com website in order to use Facebook chat.

Thare are so many tools that you chat on Facebook from anywhere without open the Facebook site in your browser.

Facebook Chat from your Desktop

Digsby- This is very useful all-in-one app that helps you stay up to date with everything on Your Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, LinkedIn and other online accounts.

If you have multiple accounts on Facebook (like you and your spouse), you can associate all of them with your Disgsby messenger and chat with the combined buddy list simultaneously. Facebook doesn’t allow audio or video calls but Digsby indirectly brings that feature to Facebook Chat via Tokbox.





Adium-If you are using Mac, Adium is the best chat box with Facebook friends from the desktop.

Like Pidgin and Digsby, Adium too supports multiple IM networks, including Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, AOL AIM, ICQ, Yahoo! Messenger, Skype, Twitter and Jabber (XMPP). And it uses the same Facebook Chat plugin that is available for Pidgin users on Google Code.

Pidgin- While Facebook Chat is not officially supported in Pidgin, there’s a Free Plug-In that lets you connect to the Facebook chat server from Pidgin. And like Digsby, Pidgin too would let you chat with buddies on multiple Facebook accounts from the same interface.





Pidgin vs Digsby – Pidgin is purely for instant messaging while Digsby will also display notifications like when a friends sends you a message using Facebook email or if he or she writes something on your Facebook wall. Some people in the comments say that even Pidgin displays notifications but at least that doesn’t work in Windows 7.

Pidgin will show all your Facebook contacts in one giant list (see update) while Digsby will group contacts under logical “Friends list” just the way you have them on the main facebook.com site. Update: The new version of Facebook Chat plugin for Pidgin displays your online friends under groups just like Pidgin
