[How To] Start Video Chat Inside Gmail

by

Google has introduced Gmail voice and video chat long back.But as I still see, some users who rarely use Gmail aren’t really aware of it, as they still stuck to the voice chat through Gtalk desktop version.It may be that they are not really aware of how to setup Gmail voice and video chat inside Gmail.So here I’ve decided to discuss about how to get this video chat feature inside your Gmail that lets you start a video chat directly from your inbox besides reading and sending Email messages through Gmail.

gmail voice and video chat

All you need to get Gmail voice and video chat inside your browser is to install this Gmail voice and video chat plug-in.Just download the plugin and install it.Close all your open browser windows while installing it and then restart your browser.Now you’ll see a small green camera icon right before your name in Gmail chat.That means that the plugin is successfully installed and running.

You can now start a video chat on Gmail, iGoogle or Orkut with anyone who has also installed this plugin (in which case you see the same green camera icon before their names in chat).

Gmail voice and video chat works well with all Firefox 2.0+, Internet Explorer 6.0+, Safari 3.0+ and Google Chrome.

Device Doctor : Automatically Searches Your System For Out Of Date Drivers

by

Device Doctor is a great free software, that automatically searches and downloads any driver updates in your system.

I have downloaded and installed the application on my Windows 7 laptop and it did it’s job perfectly it has searched and found as many as 9 driver updates (I never knew that there are updates available for all those drivers until I did this search !).

This is one great free software that any PC user with an active internet connection should install.Out  of date drivers could not only slowdown the system performance, but they may also result in unexpected behaviour.These are particularly true in the case of important hardware device drivers such as Ethernet card drivers, video card (or graphics card), sound drivers etc.Sometimes you may see the error messages like "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" or "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)” etc.

So the ultimate solution for this is to update your drivers regularly.The Device Doctor does this so perfectly for you.
