Video Chatting...yes thats right...It is as easy as sending a message .So how does it work...

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.

But as it happens everytime this feature will be out in phases..
Gmail voice and video chat will be rolled out globally over the next day or so for Macs and PCs. The first time you use this feature, you'll be prompted to download and install a small plugin. To get started, visit http://www.gmail.com/videochat or click on the "Options" menu in a Gmail chat window and choose "Add voice/video chat."
