Gmail Voice and Video

[D.D.]

Didn't see a thread from this.

Basically allows you to have voice and video chats through Gmail. Compatible with Windows and OSX I believe. I've used it and it works great. You can even use it to have voice chats from Gmail to Google Talk so thats great (since OSX has no Google Talk client)...plus it supports video, which the latter doesn't do.

Gmail voice and video chat

* Chat more ways than ever from within Gmail
* Look and sound your best with high quality audio and video
* Get started easily -- all you need is a webcam

Basically you install a plugin and you're done. Small, efficient, free.

Try it and let me know what you guys think.

No problem koko-goal. About the avatar...I think aside from Bobbi I've probably kept the same avatar longer than any other active member on the forum....I've had it since I joined back in 2002 ! Glad you like it.

I believe there is a record function for video, but I'm not sure about sending it via email. I base that from what I read here (WebWorkerDaily » Archive Google Rolls out Gmail Voice and Video Chat…Slowly… «), but I haven't tried it myself. If not, I think it should be implemented at some point in the future...afterall, these guys are making voice and video chat through a web interface possible...what isn't?

Yea, I've tried that before. Performance and quality are very good. If only everyone I talked to used google talk...
