From within Gmail, you canhave an actual conversation with someone (seriously, out loud), or evenchat face to face over video.
Here's what you'll need to get started:

- Sign in to Gmail.
- Inthe Chat section of your Gmail, select the contact you want to call. Ifthey have a camera icon next to their name, you can make a voice orvideo call to them; just click Video & more.
