Sometimes, the expressions on the face of our loved ones can mean much more than what they say. So, to help you share your expression Google has launched Google Talk with video and voice chat for Android phones.
You can now video or voice chat with your friends, family and colleagues right from your Android phone, whether they’re on their compatible Android tablet or phone, or using Gmail with Google Talk on their computer. However, to make these calls, you have to have an ideal Internet speed like 3G or 4G data network (if your carrier supports it) or Wi-Fi.
How to Make Video Calls
In your Google Talk friends list, a video or voice chat button will appear next to your contacts and you can simply touch the button to connect with them. Any text chats from the person you’re talking with will be overlaid on your phone’s screen so you can read them without having to leave the video. Meanwhile, if you need to check something else, the video pauses automatically so you can go back to your phone’s home screen or another app. However, you can follow the audio, even though the video has paused.
Google Talk with video and voice chat will gradually roll out to Nexus S devices in the next few weeks as part of the Android 2.3.4 over-the-air update and will launch on other Android 2.3+ devices in the future. To learn more about using video and voice chat,
