Why Can’t You Make Video Calls on Facebook Lite:

There are a few reasons why you fail to make video calls:

1. App is Not Updated

A significant reason why you can’t make video calls on Facebook Lite is that your app is not updated.

When your app is not updated to the latest version, it might create a problem while conducting video calls.

The newer the version of the app, the fewer bugs present. This means that to ensure a smooth transition from one step to another and consequently make a video call, you have to have the latest version of Facebook Lite.

2. Permission is not Granted

One of the reasons people don’t realize the existence of being unable to make video calls on Facebook lite is that they have not been granted any permissions.

In simpler terms, this means that when the app was downloaded first, permissions were asked by the app to use, for example, a microphone, camera, and the ability to make and receive phone calls.

If you did not give those permissions to the app, it would cause a problem now while making a video call. One of the solutions to this would be to go to the Google Play Store or App Store and redownload and reinstall the Facebook lite app and provide all the necessary permissions.
