Voice and Video support in Gmail

Google atlast had enabled Video support in Gtalk through Gmail. Audio, Video support in Gtalk was expected from Google aeons back. No one knows why it had taken such a long time for Google to deliver the goods, probably, it wasn't a priority. Better late than never. To use these features in the inbuilt chat of Gmail, one needs to download the audio and video plugins and install them in their computers, from here. The video chat works as flawlessly as the normal chat without interfering in Gmail's interface.

You could grab quality Logitech webcams at subsidized price, put up in Google's learn more section, here. Then, these offers are on only till Nov 30th 2008.

Hopefully very soon we could expect video chat in Gtalk application as well. However, video support in Gmail makes more sense as all communication medium are in one place.

No more ROTFL for your friends' sick jokes. ;)
