Install a simple plug-in to instantly enjoy voice and video chatting with your friends and family
Simply head over here and install the Google Voice and Video Chat plug-in, which is then usable with GMail's embedded chat window (on the lower-left of your GMail screen).
Once installed, simply login to GMail again after restarting your browser and you will notice a 'camera' status icon next to your credentials in GMail chat. This means Voice and Video Chat is enabled and all you need is a webcam and a microphone to get started.
If you don't have a webcam, you can simply use Voice Chat. Now, select the friend you want to chat with and check if he/she has the 'camera' icon enabled (and hence Voice and Video Chat installed). If not, simply invite them to install the plug-in by opening a chat window and selecting 'Invite to voice/video chat'. One-way webcam chats are also possible.
The 'camera' icon matches with the colour of your selected status - Available or Busy (or even Idle when you are not around. To stay Idle on Google Talk by choice, you could try this).
