Google Makes Voice and Video Chats Available to Everyone in Gmail

Posted on November 14, 2008 by J. Benjamin Stevens

As mentioned today at my The Mac Lawyer blog, Google announced earlier this week that it added video and voice chat capability to Gmail, making a great product that much better.  Now, anyone with a Gmail account can chat with virtually anyone else -- for free.  Of course, Mac users have had the benefit of iChat for quite some time, but Google has really opened the floodgates with this technology to bring it to the masses.

From a family law perspective, this technology can make it easier for parents to communicate with their children.  More tech-savvy clients can also utilize this technology to have face-to-face meetings with their attorneys from their homes or offices.  The process is literally as simple as setting up a (free) Gmail account, clicking on the Chat drop-down list, and then selecting who you want to talk to.
