Many Gmail users have wanted this feature for a long time, and Hangouts has been a key part of Google's Social network since last year; and now Google has integrated the feature right into Gmail. For Gmail, this isn't entirely new. Google first implemented it back in 2008, but Google says this will be a more "modern" implementation of video calling. Gmail video chats used peer-to-peer technology, but Google+ Hangouts use "the power of Google's network" for reliability and quality. Some other useful features is now you can benefit from other Hangout features, such as the ability to chat with nine other people at once. You also have the option to use "masks" by turning yourself into a Cat or Dog. One more thing... You can now chat through Gmail directly with people using Google+ on your Android or iOS devices.It wasn't a big surprise that Google is taking its Hangout service to Gmail, mainly because people have requested it for some time now. We may also see it in some of Google's other services as well. Google says that the service rollout is starting today and should be available to all users in the coming weeks.
