Gmail add Video and Voice Chat

Gmail added so many features recently. I noticed the Video chat and Voice chat features in Gmail this morning. It make me surprise that the video conference is so high quality.
The video and voice chat integrated into Gmail chat. The interface looks so simple and neat. Just select contact you want to call, then choose video call or voice call. Even if your friend doesn’t have a camera, you still can do 1-way video call to let them see you.
How to start Gmail video chat? Simple. Download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in, quit all open browser windows, and install the plug-in. No heavy or complicated installation. See, hear and chat right in your Gmail browser.
Enjoy the high quality video chat session! Watch the video and voice chat demonstration after jump.
I don’t have webcam. So I can’t test the video chat performance and quality using our broadband infrastructure. Can you test it out and let us know your results?

I’ve heard about Courts using video conferencing technologies especially in the rural areas and villages. Even though it’s an expensive approach but it’s a great way for developing these areas.
