The Google team is slowly rolling out a couple of features that, if it works well, will be quite useful - voice and video chat within GMail.
Now, if you log in to your GMail account and hover over the name of a contact, you will see a pull down menu “Video and more”. Upon clicking “Add Video/Voice chat”, you will be prompted to install a new plugin for chats.
You will be led to the chat extension page, from where you can install the required plugin.
Voice and video chat within GMail window certainly would come handy, as it would mean that we longer have to install an instant messenger client for urgent purposes, or when away from home. Could this new feature be the beginning of the end of use of full-fledged IM clients (at least for casual chat users)?
