Chat using Gmail

Google gives You one more chance for communication, using its apps. Checking our mail, we can see a green/yellow/red/grey dot by someone’s name in the chat box. It means that person is on/off the chat. While using it You can:

• send messages;
• make video-chat;
• make voice-chat;
• make a chat with group of users;
• use some plain smile-images.

As additional options You can:

• block a user to send you messages;
• stop writing down chat history.

But not all Gmail users know how send or respond to chat messages.  With a bit of tutoring and practice, they'll become quite the master chatter. 

Here’s a video how to use chat:

As for me, I think Gmail chat is very comfortable to use because You don't need to use one programme for your email, and another one (or two or three) for IM, where You can't remember who said what to you.
