Video chat comes to Gmail
2008 November 14
Funko and me testing Google video chat
If you haven’t heard, Google added video chat to Gmail this week and it works just like any other video chat program would. It’s amazingly simple, and the wonderful thing is that it requires nothing except this very quick installation. After the installation, you go back into Gmail and video is as easy as finding somebody else on your buddy list with a video icon rather than a standard green “available” dot.
Here’s a demonstration video from Google on how this works.
