Google Improves Video Chat Quality

Google introduced a new feature in Gmail Labs for video chat enhancement. Your video chat experience will come with higher resolution; you just have to turn it on. While logged into your Gmail account, visit the Gmail Labs menu and enable “Video Chat Enhancements”.

“The higher resolution video uses a new playback mechanism which enables widescreen VGA and frees up valuable resources on your computer,” says product manager Serge Lachapelle. “For it to work, both you and the person you’re chatting with will need to have the lab turned on. Remember that you can always revert to standard video chat by disabling the lab.”
