Gmail Video Chat

This is crazy... Would lover to talk to you danny!

I just noticed that feature today too ^^! Okay I do use webcam once in a while cos my family are overseas ^^; but haven't done so for a while cos my mom is quite busy and not super tech savy as a sis of mine (Who moved out).

I webcamed with my hubs before we started officially "dating" lol. I recalled we actually did some facial mask application while webcaming and boy it was hard not to laugh and crack the mask! ^^; Recently (maybe 1 month plus ago?) one of my co-workers overseas and me used oovoo.com to do a meeting ^^ too bad it was kinda choppy (bad internet)

it will surely be a great feature if Danny implemented it in DC ^_^

Got a webcam and it's quite old...
We occasionally use it to webcam with relatives overseas. It will be a good feature to implement, but I doubt I'll use it.

I have an iSight built into my iMac. I don't really use it though.
It's about time they added that. Hopefully now my webcam will be of some use, though I highly doubt it.

my sony TZ has one built in, but never used it. ^^;

I don't have a webcam at my computer, but my notebook has one ^^
Anyway, I need to get a better connection before trying to play with it...

good ol days with the webcam. I remember when i was talking to my cousin via webcam when she suddenly undresses down to a swimsuit O.O! Turns out she said to turn my webcam off as she wants to show it off to her best friend but i didn't notice her message until it's too late... ^^;

It would be really interesting to see this stuff on DC xD

I do want a webcam but don't really have much use for it as such

"Wanted to set up something so that members can join some sort of chat room and be able to see each other at the same time." <- That would be awesome. xD
Been using Skype for 3-4 years. Use it all the time at work and with friends in FPS games, and the video conferencing is unbeatable.
Google's going up against Skype with their new video chat feature like this. Though, it makes Firefox crash when I try to configure my webcam. xD
And still no updates for Gtalk clien ;_;

Well it would be nice to see the faces behind the avatars ^^

it'd be great to see who we've been chatting or bantering with. makes future identification a lot easier. it also means i can't be wearing that casual home wear i usually do. =P

while i do have relatives overseas, i dont think any of them are very tech savvy at all, so my webcam is pretty useless... =/
though i agree, it could be cool seeing this on dc

WOW. That would be awesome. Chatroom setup. Hehehe
I ultimately have a webcam. I use it everytime I can.

Well it would be nice to see the faces behind the avatars ^^ -Mimi
I agree with Mimi. LOL .Eyeball isn't?

the internet here in indonesia, does not support this kind of luxury
coz i haet lags ,delays etc2. . it kinda underdeveloped =.=

I have webcam too but never use it anymore ^^; usually use it to chat with close friends in YahooMessenger. I very shy, cant use webcam ^^;

I have an old crappy webcam, but I use it with a very nice XLR microphone so it has great sound. Frame rate on the camera is pretty solid too.

I have Skype, gtalk, and use stickam on occasion. I hate stickam, it's very prone to messing up in various ways. Have to admit when it's working it's pretty impressive. Lots of people are allowed to chat but only 8 cameras are allowed at the same time. Oh and it's web/flash-based which is probably why it fails half the time.

My laptop has a built in one. I use it to talk to my parents.

I have one but I don't really use it. I think I only used it once. LOL. not really a fan of webcams coz I tend to do multiple things at once and I can't do that when I have always view the other person at the other end. :D

I only ever webcam with the girlfriend when I travel. Now that she's gone though, I don't use it much at all. ^^; Looking around the desk though, it seems my brother ran off to shake his money maker or something, so... I might have to buy a new webcam if I deem the one I've already got to be...unclean by the time I get it back... =_=

Video chat sounds like a great idea, but...I'm not sure how this works. With a couple of people it might lag, maybe, but how do you handle the feed when there's a whole bunch of people at once?

Man too bad I don't have a laptop with a cam...the one I'm using now is four years old and newer ones come standard with a cam...I like the idea of live chatting with other members...

No webcam on my computer, I look fairly daggy at home anyways lol.
So long as non-cam members can join too, it sounds great ;3

i have a webcam. i only used it twice for traveling. hmmm i dont look my best when im at home either haha. anyways, sound like a good idea.

No webcam, but the Cyber Figure Aris interactive maid program temps me so.

I use video chat all the time, as I live on the east coast of Australia, and all my family on the west coast.

I love GTalk, but why don't Google integrate video chat into GTalk? I never use the browser for Gmail - I route it to my email client of choice instead (Thunderbird).

I use webcam sometimes when me and my friend have a conference, but just for the lulz. =P

Don't have a webcam and don't plan to get one. Nobody wanna see me anyways.

Just saw it (Gmail's video chat) yesterday and thought maybe it's time to buy a web cam. My laptop is rather old and doesn't have a built-in one. Also, recently at university in some courses we have used video conferencing and stuff like googledocs a lot. Seems to be a rising trend.

I recently found two new unopened webcams among my pc boxes ^^;
I wouldn't mind usinf this feature, as I already like using gmail/msn ^^

I was thinking about getting a webcam...
but only so I can try the toy ARis

i voted no, but I think I actually do have some cheap 5 year old $20 webcam somewhere....

Might be a good thing to work with. I got a sister with a infantile son I would like to see a little more of. (even though they do come to town every weekend), but I do love the boy. I is a proud uncle.

i have internal on my Eeepc - otherwise, every other one is like ripped apart for parts

Would be cool, but alas, I have no webcam...

got a webcam, but i highly doubt my bandwidth can support video conferencing.. :(

Have a really old webcam and seldom use it. The quality is crap orz.

Nice to know that Gmail is improving from time to time.

yep just logged on a few minutes before. but i really don't know if i'm going to use it even though i got a web cam.

hmm, i think i could do this with my internet speed, but heavy lagging ^^;;;;

well, I don't like it, since I work at home and almost always work with only my undies (yes, I'm disgusting), I can't imagine why anyone would want to see me while chatting :D

But if anybody wants to and okay with it ,I'm...

no, just no...

I have a webcam in my lappy but i seldom uses it

I wouldn't use a feature like this. After being 'bullied' (for lack of a better word) both in real life and on the internet, I plan on never showing my face online ever again no matter what.

I try not to use it....Prefer face to face....And no lag as well..

ow! that is cool! i will start to use right way... finally skype has some decent competition!!!!

I don't really like how Google is trying to take over everything. They got one of the largest search engines, Gmail, Google Chrome, Youtube and so much more. I feel like they are trying to be best at everything and for some reason that annoys me.

well google is a private company, anything you type in google's search engine, and every mail in history that was sent or received via gmail, will be saved a gigantic database.
same thing with Chrome of course...
I don't know about you guys... but I dont like it

i use video conferences quite often since i have some family and friends overseas, skype is doing great for me but i'll give gmail a chance

if vid. chat is enabled, will this turn dannychoo.com into an otaku version of facebook sorta idea?

sounds like a bandwidth nightmare.

No web cam. No point getting one. Not getting one. ^^

A chat among DC members huh, that's cool :)) it'll be cooler if it were a program :> :)) But I guess that be to much of a hassle to make.

Watch Danny Live Strip his armor off yeah!! would certainly make the girls go crazy!LoL

Well, I have a webcam, but rarely use... and when I do it's not for video chat. :P
I guess it's because I find it more confortable to chat by text... you don't feel obliged to answer promptly, and stuff like that.

But I know there are times that a video chat is better...
I'd certainly use it more if my mom knew how to deal with it... XD Unfortunately she's kinda tech-blind... :P

Hihi! So google develope things in Sweden to. :D

no webcam. also a 256k connection is not suitable for video chat.

I use Gmail only to discuss with my friends. I boycot clearly Hotmail and Microsoft LOL

I tried the gmail video chat yesterday, without camera. My buddy told me sound quality was quite good. The only problem is that you can only voice/video-chat with one person, it would be cool if you could join groups, like with the usual text-only gmail-chat.

I'm switching to Mac very soon, and am very appreciative of the built-in iChat functionality!

You could do a live chat room or something; get all the members together for a Q & A session, throw in a few quizzes and prizes (etc). I'm sure everyone would love that!

Will try this....now with a friend to see the quality

Oooh that's cool! Should get to re-installing my webcam someday. =w=''

This is a very interesting development. I may have to invest in a webcam if I can find some really cool people to chat with. The majority of my friends are always too "busy" to IM w/ me which make it very dull :{

had one in my laptop, but rarely used. Never interested to use though..^^

hiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone !!!!
i'm new here!! but i am a japanophil!!!! i hope i could get friends !!!
