Google Brings Voice And Video Chat to Linux

After a long, long time – Google finally has introduced Voice & Video chat for Linux. Now while trying to start a Voice or Video chat, instead of showing “This system is not supported” – you get redirected to Google’s Chat download page [1].
Clicking on the “Install button” will prompt you to download the Debian package file.

Once saved, just double click on the file to launch the package manager, and click on install to Install the plugin.

Once installed, just restart your browser and you’re all set to start video chatting in Linux!
The bad news that currently, only debs are packaged, which means RPM based distro users will have to wait a little bit longer.
