If you use video chat in orkut, you might be interested in a new feature we just rolled out: now you can video chat with your friends in high-resolution! It’s like talking face-to-face with them, directly from your orkut pages.
To enable it, click "Options" at the bottom of your orkut chat list, then "Chat Settings". In the settings window that will open, check the "Enable high-resolution video" option, and you’re done! Right away, if you and the friend you're chatting to have both enabled this option, you will be video chat chatting in a much higher resolution.
And if you’ve never used video chat in orkut before, it’s really easy to get started. Once you have a webcam and a microphone, you just need to download a small plugin, available for free at www.google.com/chat/video
Oh, and for Linux users, we’re pleased to announce that video chat now supports Linux too. But don’t panic if you don’t see the high-resolution video checkbox - we’ve designed our Linux version from the ground up for this new feature, so it’s always on for you.
We hope you have fun chatting in high-resolution, and free to share your comments or report any issues you encounter in the video chat forum. Enjoy!
