I really like your sketch. All information is clear. Only one tutorial setting is missing here. It would be great for facebook user to know how to use it. =) Great job.
I really like the button placement in the toolbar above the chat window. The icons are not very self explanatory if you have never used an instant messaging service, but the layout does not allow for simple mistakes like blocking someone when trying to add them to your buddy list. I also really really like that you added emoticons as a default button for the chat. I didn’t even think of how users would want to display tone in text chat. Great job leo i really like the sketch!
Agreed on the use of emoticons. I do like the general layout, though I think the video window could be a bit more prominent. Is that what the 2 boxes are used for at the middle/right? One thing to consider is, how exactly would the video/conference call button behave in relation to those windows?
actually if you havent clicked the “video call/conferrence” those 2 windows on the right side of conversation box wont appear. The small webcam icon is just the video settings/configuration button to adjust your video resolution (small,big, or medium size) and you can mute it also if you dont want to hear the sounds (video only)
