Even when we use gmail and gtalk for most of our chat and email, we often go back to Yahoo, for video and Webcam. What if you have webcam also, on your gtalk or gmail ? Well, don’t get excited, the feature is yet to be announced. But, I think, its on its way. Reason ? Google announced recently, that Google Talk gadget users will now be able to take a picture directly from the webcam to use as their profile picture gtalk.
” Currently, this feature only works in the Google Talk gadget, but will set your picture across the Google Talk network, including in Gmail.”
Yahoo never allowed us to use webcam from a linux machine, will google enable that feature ? Thats my concern now.
How To
From the Google Talk gadget, click on your Google Talk picture, and select the “Take Photo” option. You’ll see the image from your webcam appear, and you’ll be able to take and retake pix to your heart’s content. When you get that perfect shot, just click “Save” to set it as your picture.
Currently, this feature only works in the Google Talk gadget, but will set your picture across the Google Talk network, including in Gmail.
