BlackBerry shows off BBM Video Chat in this video

OK, so BlackBerry 10, after some uncertainty, will have Skype.

But what about BBM, the only feature RIM has had in the past few years that could be described a massive hit?

In this case, the rumours were dead on; BlackBerry Messenger will be video chat enabled for BlackBerry 10 devices.

In the video below, RIM’s Vivek Bhardwaj shows off the feature, which allows users to move between a text-based and video chat, and use “screenshare” which allows someone you are chatting with to see your phone’s “desktop”.
