Back in April, Blackberry rolled out the Video Calling feature for Android users(Before this time, it was only available to Blackberry users).
 However, blackberry stated that the video calling feature was in its beta stage and was only available to users in the US and Canada but now BBM users in Africa and other countries(not all) can make video calls on their Android and iOS devices.

No sign-up or approval is required to use this feature. When you tap the call icon, BBM will ask if you want to make a voice call or try a video call with the beta feature.

Blackberry stated that the BBM video call feature can only work on devices running Android 4.4 (KitKat) upwards and iOS 8 upwards.

Additionally, video calling an Android device or iOS device from a Blackberry device wouldn’t work, instead it would be converted to a voice call. Likewise Android and iOS users cannot video call a Blackberry user.

However, Android users can initiate BBM video calls to both Android and iOS users and iOS users can also initiate BBM video calls to both iOS and Android users.

Asus phones and other devices powered by an Intel processor are currently not supported, for now.

Though BB10 users have been using the BBM video calling feature for a while now, Blackberry just decided to bring Android and iOS users into the fold.
