Gmail introduces Video Chat and Audio Chat

Google has just added audio and video chat to Gmail. The new chat tools essentially offer most of the features of Skype, or Apple’s iChat, within the standard Gmail interface.

Once the plugin is installed, using the new features is very simple. Just hover over any name in your Gmail chat list and select “Start video chat” or “Start voice chat.” There’s a full-screen view and you can also choose to pop out the chat into a new window.

Google’s e-mail client will soon be a one-stop shop for almost every form of communication you can think of — e-mail, chat, video chat, audio chat and SMS.
