Google Launches Gmail Voice and Video Chat
13 Nov 2008
Google has launched Gmail voice and video chat, making it simple for people around the world to chat in high-quality video for free right within Gmail.
All you need is a webcam and a small Web browser plugin, and you can start video chatting with your friends, family, and coworkers on Gmail and Google Apps.
Gmail voice and video chat lets you start a video chat without switching to another application or signing up for another account. And if you don't have a webcam, you can simply chat by voice.
To get started, open a Gmail chat window, click on the "Options" menu at the bottom, and choose "Add voice/video chat," which will walk you through a one-time installation of a free plugin (a quick 2 MB download). When you re-open Gmail you'll notice your "Options" link in your chat window has changed to "Video and more".
