New Delhi: Search giant Google is all set to strengthen its voice and video chat capabilities. The voice and video chat featured in the company's email service, Gmail, is currently limited to one-to-one communication. However, Google wants to broaden this capability to more than two participants.
The Google Apps Product Manager Rishi Chandra said that Google is set to roll out its first update in a long line of updates that will include multi-user video conferencing. He said, "This (current Gmail capability) is the first step in a much broader set of features we hope to roll out over the next 6-12 months around video (and voice) chat capabilities." He also added, "It's a great opportunity for us to push that space along."
Google acquired the Web and video conferencing software in 2007 from Swedish company Marratech.
