Google Launches Gmail Video Chat
Working collaboratively over long distance is the norm for many of us and Google just added another tool to make that easier.
Gmail Video Chat was announced yesterday:
That's why today we're launching voice and video chat -- right inside Gmail. We've tried to make this an easy-to-use, seamless experience, with high-quality audio and video -- all for free. 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.
Combine this with desktop sharing tools like Yugma and Zoho Meeting and you have a virtual office. Both of these services have free and paid supported versions.
