Voice and Video Chat for Gmail Now On Linux

The gmail voice and video chat feature where you could do a voice and video chat right in your gmail window was so far only possible in windows but there is some really good news for linux users . Now this feature is supported in linux as well and its very easy to configure . Here is how you set it up :

Step 1 : Go to www.google.com/chat/video and click on Install voice and video chat

Step 2 : Save and download the file

Step 3 : Launch the DEB file and click on install package





Step 4 : Once installation is done , you need to restart your web browser
Step 5 : Thats it , now open gmail and click on the video chat button and your good to go!!


I am really glad to see this feature. GOogle video chat from gmail window was something that was really missing in linux. Some more reasons for people to switch to linux :) .
