Google has offered video chat between Google Talk contacts inside Gmail for some time now. It's a great feature, but it doesn't do you much good if you want to chat with friends who have Google accounts, but don't use Gmail. Problem solved, though, because video chat is now available on your iGoogle page.

Setting up video chat isn't very difficult. You just have to download the video chat plugin, which you've already installed if you've been using the feature in Gmail. Once it's installed, you can video chat with any contact with a green camera icon next to their name. Either open a regular text chat and click on actions, or hover your mouse over a contact on your list and go to "video and more."
