Since sometimes reading “lol” doesn’t deliver the same punch as actually hearing your friend laugh at your jokes, you can now use voice and video capabilities in your Gmail chat. From within Gmail, you can have an actual conversation with someone (seriously, out loud), or even chat face to face over video.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- Download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in, quit all open browser windows, and install the plug-in.
- Sign in to Gmail.
- In the Chat section of your Gmail, select the contact you want to call. If they have a camera icon next to their name, you can make a voice or video call to them; just click Video & more.
If your friend doesn’t have a camera next to their name in your chat list, you can invite them to download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in from the Video & more menu in a chat window. Even if your friend doesn’t have a video camera, you can still make a voice call or a 1-way video call.

As I was living four Years in beautiful Sinai I am happy to present you two Webcams from there. There is a Homepage called “I Love Dahab”, that small Bedouine City is located at the south of Sinai at the Red Sea, facing to Saudi Arabia.
The nice feature is, that the provide Live Stream, so no humbling Images all 10 seconds or so, instead a flow stream, even you can see the palm trees moving in the wind (if there is a wind)
Small Critics: Till now the Webcams looks just to work in Explorer, only on their mainpage also Firefox Browser have luck. Anyhow, its nice to have a Beachview from Middle East and if someone remember Moses, yeah, it looks he enjoyed that few already earlier, so just a Review 
By the Way, the Webcams does not looks always online, so try several times to be lucky.
This Webcam is usualy online between 10am and 5pm
