Sounds to me more like Facebook have simply stopped working on it, so that any 
API change in the Messenger section will break it.

Re: How to Use FaceBook Messenger on Mac OS X via Messages App | OSXDaily

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

After you've chatted once with the person, they'll just be in the regular 
global Conversation table.  To initiate though, you can look under your Window 
menu in the Messages app and there will be shortcuts beside each messaging 
service you have enabled.  For example, mine has cmd-0 for iMessage and cmd-1 
for FaceBook.

Later...

That did the trick.  How do you toggle between messenger and iMessage?

Re: How to Use FaceBook Messenger on Mac OS X via Messages App | OSXDaily

What was the secret?  I have tried my user name, my email address, my user name 
without the URL, and nothing works.  Even went to my contact card in face book 
contacts, and it just had my user name without a number like tim suggested, and 
no URL.  Doesn’t happen often, but this one stumps me.

Re: How to Use FaceBook Messenger on Mac OS X via Messages App | OSXDaily

[Grant]

I did some research into this, and Facebook did in fact announce that XMPP has 
been deprecated. However, the cut-off date given is April 30, 2015. We are now 
well into June and Facebook Chat via XMPP appears to be working just fine at my 
end, so it is difficult to say what the situation may be. Source:

You can't post with messages, you'll have to use the sharing widget on

Re: How to Use FaceBook Messenger on Mac OS X via Messages App | OSXDaily

[Tim Kilburn]

Hi,

You must use the proper FaceBook Jabber username.  This is different than your 
regular FaceBook login.  this Jabber username usually does something with your 
name and adds a number to it.  So, for example, mine may turn out to 
Tim.Kilburn.5 even though I login to FaceBook with an eMail address.  If you’ve 
linked your FaceBook account with the other sharing features on your Mac, 
you’ll see that FaceBook Jabber info in your Contacts card in the Contacts app 
right by the IM field.  Twitter and other linked social media accounts are also 
shown there.  All set up and it works fine for me.

HTH.

Later...

Everytime I inter the info per the instructions, it says I need a jabar account 
and password, that the ones I inter are not correct.  Oh well, it was a nice 
thought.

App

 <http://osxdaily.com> Facebook Messenger is a popular means of communicating, 
but the Mac doesn’t have a dedicated Facebook messaging app like the iPhone or 
Android does… or does it!?! Indeed, you can use Facebook Messenger to message 
friends from OS X, and in moments you can set up the Mac Messages app to 
function as a Facebook Messenger client in OS X. 

 <http://osxdaily.com> Using Facebook Messenger from the Mac is really quite 
simple, but it’s entirely separate from configuring Facebook sharing from the 
Mac, so if you have done one but not the other, you’d need to complete both to 
have the full Facebook functions of sharing, posting, and messaging available 
to you in OS X. 


 <http://osxdaily.com> How to Add Facebook Messenger to Messages in OS X


 <http://osxdaily.com> This basically turns your Messages app into a full 
fledged Mac Facebook Messenger client, you’ll be set up in just a few seconds 
with these instructions:

1.   <http://osxdaily.com> Open the Messages app on the Mac if you haven’t 
done so yet

 <http://osxdaily.com> 

2.   <http://osxdaily.com> Pull down the “Messages” menu and choose “Add 
Account…”

 <http://osxdaily.com> 

3.   <http://osxdaily.com> From the message account screen, choose “Other 
messages account…” and click on “Continue”

 <http://osxdaily.com> 

4.   <http://osxdaily.com> Pull down the menu next to “Account Type” and 
select ‘Jabber’ from the list
5.   <http://osxdaily.com> In “Account Name” enter your Facebook account 
user name as follows: yourusern...@chat.facebook.com (a Facebook username is 
whatever your Facebook profile URL is, for example: 
‘www.facebook.com/your_name_here’ the username would be “your_name_here” and 
the account name would then be your_name_h...@chat.facebook.com)
6.   <http://osxdaily.com> Enter your Facebook account password in the 
password field, this is the same one you use to login to Facebook from the web 
or the apps

 <http://osxdaily.com> 

7.   <http://osxdaily.com> Ignore all other settings and choose “Create” – 
this will setup Facebook messaging client and in a moment you’ll see your 
Facebook Friends list populate as a buddy list, complete with friend names and 
friend profile pictures

 <http://osxdaily.com> 

8.   <http://osxdaily.com> Message anyone in the list as usual, the 
conversations are going through Facebook Messenger

 <http://osxdaily.com> 

 <http://osxdaily.com> If you’re on a Mac, the ability to have Facebook 
Messenger conversations right in the Messages app of OS X is really quite nice, 
the conversations will appear alongside other text messages and iMessages, 
Google Chat, Yahoo Messenger, or AOL / AIM communications. 

 <http://osxdaily.com> Once you have Facebook Messenger added to Messages, you 
will be automatically logged into Facebook Messenger when the Messages app 
opens. To log out of Facebook Messenger in Messages, simply pull down the 
“Messages” menu item and choose “Log out of chat.facebook.com” – similarly, you 
can log in that way as well. 

 <http://osxdaily.com> You can access the Facebook Friends buddy list at any 
time from the “Windows” menu item in Messages app, where you can also set your 
status to be online or offline, or away.

 <http://osxdaily.com> 

 <http://osxdaily.com> This certainly beats having a web browser window open to 
Facebook.com on a Mac, and if you have set up Facebook posts and sharing in OS 
X you now have much of the Facebook functionality right in OS X without having 
to go to the website to talk to friends, share stuff, or post status updates.

 <http://osxdaily.com> What if

Go to http://facebook.com/username  and login and 
check to see if your username is set (probably is). If so, you will learn your 
username there and maybe change it if you like.

This is great..
OK, for my stupid question of the day, how do I figure out what my facebook 
user name is?  I know my log in credentials, so would it just be the same as 
the user name or log in email?  I have no idea what my profile name is!
Thanks, I am new to FB and all the ins and outs of using it!

Facebook needs a dedicated Messenger client for the Mac. 

I shall try this solution when I am back at the office, but something tells me 
it's not going to work. 

Surprisingly Adium is still functioning on my computer somewhat.

Hi,

I believe that this can still be done from within the Internet Accounts of 
System Preferences.  Could be mistaken, but FaceBook is still an account type 
when setting things up there, and my FaceBook account is still showing up as 
available from within that pane.  I have it disabled at the moment, but there’s 
no indication that it won’t work if I was to enable it.

How to Use FaceBook Messenger on Mac OS X via Messages App

Facebook Messenger in Mac OS X Facebook Messenger is a popular means 
of communicating, but the Mac doesn’t have a dedicated Facebook 
messaging app like the iPhone or Android does… or does it!?! Indeed, 
you can use Facebook Messenger to message friends from OS X, and in 
moments you can set up the Mac Messages app to function as a Facebook 
Messenger client in OS X.


Using Facebook Messenger from the Mac is really quite simple, but it’s 
entirely separate from configuring Facebook sharing from the Mac 
, so if you 
have done one but not the other, you’d need to complete both to have 
the full Facebook functions of sharing, posting, and messaging 
available to you in OS X.



  How to Add Facebook Messenger to Messages in OS X

This basically turns your Messages app into a full fledged Mac 
Facebook Messenger client, you’ll be set up in just a few seconds with 
these instructions:


 1. Open the Messages app on the Mac if you haven’t done so yet

 (a Facebook username is
whatever your Facebook profile URL is, for example:
‘www.facebook.com/your_name_here’
 the username
would be “your_name_here” and the account name would then be
your_name_h...@chat.facebook.com
)

If you’re on a Mac, the ability to have Facebook Messenger

Once you have Facebook Messenger added to Messages, you will be

How to Use FaceBook Messenger on Mac OS X via Messages App

Share Tweet + 1 Mail
 Facebook Messenger is a popular means of communicating, but the Mac doesn’t 
have a dedicated Facebook messaging app like the iPhone or Android does… or 
does it!?! Indeed, you can use Facebook Messenger to message friends from OS X, 
and in moments you can set up the Mac Messages app to function as a Facebook 
Messenger client in OS X.

Using Facebook Messenger from the Mac is really quite simple, but it’s entirely 
separate from configuring Facebook sharing from the Mac, so if you have done 
one but not the other, you’d need to complete both to have the full Facebook 
functions of sharing, posting, and messaging available to you in OS X.


  

How to Add Facebook Messenger to Messages in OS X

This basically turns your Messages app into a full fledged Mac Facebook 
Messenger client, you’ll be set up in just a few seconds with these 
instructions:

Open the Messages app on the Mac if you haven’t done so yet


Pull down the “Messages” menu and choose “Add Account…”


>From the message account screen, choose “Other messages account…” and click on 
>“Continue”


Pull down the menu next to “Account Type” and select ‘Jabber’ from the list
In “Account Name” enter your Facebook account user name as follows: 
yourusern...@chat.facebook.com (a Facebook username is whatever your Facebook 
profile URL is, for example: ‘www.facebook.com/your_name_here’ the username 
would be “your_name_here” and the account name would then be 
your_name_h...@chat.facebook.com)
Enter your Facebook account password in the password field, this is the same 
one you use to login to Facebook from the web or the apps


Ignore all other settings and choose “Create” – this will setup Facebook 
messaging client and in a moment you’ll see your Facebook Friends list populate 
as a buddy list, complete with friend names and friend profile pictures


Message anyone in the list as usual, the conversations are going through 
Facebook Messenger


If you’re on a Mac, the ability to have Facebook Messenger conversations right 
in the Messages app of OS X is really quite nice, the conversations will appear 
alongside other text messages and iMessages, Google Chat, Yahoo Messenger, or 
AOL / AIM communications.

Once you have Facebook Messenger added to Messages, you will be automatically 
logged into Facebook Messenger when the Messages app opens. To log out of 
Facebook Messenger in Messages, simply pull down the “Messages” menu item and 
choose “Log out of chat.facebook.com” – similarly, you can log in that way as 
well.

You can access the Facebook Friends buddy list at any time from the “Windows” 
menu item in Messages app, where you can also set your status to be online or 
offline, or away.



This certainly beats having a web browser window open to Facebook.com on a Mac, 
and if you have set up Facebook posts and sharing in OS X you now have much of 
the Facebook functionality right in OS X without having to go to the website to 
talk to friends, share stuff, or post status updates.

What if you don’t have Messages for OS X? All modern Macs should, but if you’re 
using an older version of Mac system software that has the iChat app instead, 
don’t worry, you can also use Facebook chat in iChat too. The configuration and 
setup process is a little bit different, but the protocol is the same as is the 
ability to have a full conversation with your Facebook buddies. So, whatever 
your version of OS X on whatever your Mac, you’ll be Facebooking. Good for you. 
And no, if Facebook has been blocked on the network or hosts file, this will 
not bypass it.
