The Internet has long been an effective means of communication between people over long distances. In this case, you can not only carry out correspondence, make calls, but also see each other during a conversation using special programs and applications.
Back in 2008, Google provided its users with the ability to communicate via video chat, and has now replaced it with a more modern technology for video conferencing Google+, Hangouts. Users of e-mail on google.com can now communicate with each other and with registered members of the social network "Google+" thanks to video meetings. You can use the video conferencing capabilities both with the help of a regular browser on a computer through which you can access the social network, and from mobile devices with Android or iOS applications installed for Google+. You can create an account in "Google+" automatically when registering a new mailbox on the site. But even those happy owners of mail on google.com who are not registered in the new social network will be able to have one-on-one conversations with other users after updating the video chat. The full Hangouts video calling feature will only be available with Google+. Among them, the ability to conduct video conferencing with up to ten people, share a computer screen with other users, watch videos on YouTube, and collaborate on Google Docs. Also, thanks to the new service, you can call your interlocutor, even if he is not online, and schedule a video meeting for him. To work successfully with Gmail video meetings, you need to install a special add-on (the plugin is downloaded directly from goggle.com), as well as for using the old version of video chat. It should be noted that the number of users of Gmail services is constantly growing, as is the number of registered accounts on the social network "Google+", and, as noted by the developers of the video meeting service, this has not been without its influence.
