In Gmail chat, we can now exchange videos link with one another and see them in the chat window itself, it is not necessary to open a new page.

Once you have enabled the chat in your Labs Settings page in Gmail, you can now see YouTube videos within the chat window. Google shows a preview of the YouTube video in chat.

Without this new feature, we have to open the link in a new window and disturbs our present chat conversations with friends.

An example of the chat conversation is shown above. Just type the YouTube link you want to share the video with your friend. The YouTube video appears in a small screen, when you click the “play” icon, you can watch the video while you chat.

This YouTube preview is available only within Gmail platform, it is not available in Google Talk chat platform. It is not clear why it is not available in the main Google Talk platform.

Bob, thanks, it will be good, sometimes I am hesitant to click the link for fear of virus in that site, I hope they do that for other types of media also.

Thanks Eovery.

Anjali, I love Google, but mostly I love because it is useful for us and free. They keep introducing new feature on a daily basis, so we have to lot to share. :)
