Video and Voice chat now available on GTalk/Gmail

Gmail/GTalk now features video and voice chat option right from your Gmail window. Just point to the persons name you wish to talk and select “Video and more” option from the menu. If they have video enabled, the video window popups automatically. Very smooth and clear much like all the Google tools.

The official blog says -

Video chatting from Gmail is as easy as sending an instant message. With our team spread out across Google offices in Sweden and the U.S., it’s been really handy in helping us work together. Just click on the new "Video & more" menu in a Gmail chat window and select "Start video chat" or "Start voice chat." You can switch to a full screen view or pop out the chat window and change the size and positioning as you wish. Of course, not everyone has a webcam, but even if you don’t, you can still have voice conversations alongside your email and regular chat.

But for all the business calls, I think Skype is still better. At least until Gmail supports calling to a land/mobile number.
