Gmail voice and video chat

Gmail just released the voice and video chat so you can hear and see family and friends right inside from Gmail. Unfortunately, this Gmail update does not applies to Linux users, yet.

So, if you still use Windows, just plug in your web-cam to start using this Gmail video and chat service. The Linux community hopes to receive very soon an update to this Gmail video and chat service, but, I think that some of our most well known instant messaging programs: Pidgin and Kopete will start working very soon to add the Gmail voice and video chat feature as soon as possible.

Just remember that Gmail’s core chat service is based upon the open XML-inspired XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) protocol, more commonly known as Jabber.

Check out here the Gmail voice and video chat release notes and stay tunned to WAHIL.net to get the latest news.
