Abstract

A device, system and method for embedded video chat is provided. A device renders, at a display device, a text-based application that includes a region for rendering an embeddable video chat application. The device retrieves, using a communication interface, from a server, the embeddable video chat application associated with an identifier. The device embeds the embeddable video chat application in the region of the display device. The device identifies, using the embeddable video chat application as retrieved from the server, a remote instance of the embeddable video chat application also identified using the identifier. The device initiates a video communication session with the remote instance of the embeddable video chat application using the display device and the camera device.
