In the next few weeks, Google will replace Gmail Video Chat with Google+ Hangouts, so if you used Video Chat, it is time to say goodbye.

“Unlike the old video chat, which was based on peer-to-peer technology, Hangouts utilize the power of Google’s network to deliver higher reliability and enhanced quality,” explains the Gmail team. “You’ll be able to chat with all the same people you did before — and, in fact, with Hangouts you’ll now be able to reach them not only when they are using Gmail, but also if they are on Google+ in the browser or on their Android or iOS devices.”

This is just one step towards the full integration of Gmail and Google+.

Do you use Google+? What do you think about it?
