After the release of Google Android Phone (G1), Google released another first that is Google voice and video chat. Google voice and video chat is making huge waves among chatters worldwide after only a few days after its release to the public on November 11. Is the new Google voice and video chat application the thing to beat Yahoo Messenger and Skype? We’ll find out after users of Google’s Gmail respond to the features of the new Google app which can be opened right from you Gmail dashboard. Yes, you can immediately open the Google voice and video chat box from your Gmail account. Shifting from email to chat is as easy as clicking your mouse a few times.

According to the official Google blog, “All you have to do is download and install the voice and video plugin and we take care of the rest. And in the spirit of open communications, we designed this feature using Internet standards such as XMPP, RTP, and H.264, which means that third-party applications and networks can choose to interoperate with Gmail voice and video chat.

In addition,

Once you install the plugin, to start a video chat, just click on the “Video & more” menu at the bottom of your Gmail chat window, and choose “Start video chat.” You’ll have a few seconds to make sure you look presentable while it’s ringing, and then you’ll see and hear your friend live, right from within Gmail. You can click the “pop-out” icon to make the video larger, or click the fullscreen icon in the upper left-hand corner for a fully immersive experience.”
