Hey Everyone! This Software is basically a plugin for Google Talk which enables you to use see the person you are talking to using a webcam...this is a great enhancement but the only problem is that it is not from google it is from a different company..hey dont worry its not paid...its free! The reason I said that it is a problem is only because what I think is that whatever Google does..that becomes the best and if they would have launched this feature on their own then it would have been great! Anyways you can download the program from here. And for any faq's please go this site http://www.festooninc.com/ And what's more over here...you'll find a plugin for SKYPE as well which will allow you to use your webcam with SKYPE! I hope that all members will find this bit useful. Cheers!

Even I tried it today morning.
It is a small setup file of 3.4 MB.

Easy to install, you also get to send a alert to other contacts about the software and asking them to start using this software.

But later I was lost.
You get a icon the top of Google Talk window, I clicked on it another window opened up it was again asking me to send out the alerts to my contacts.

I dint know how to invite someone to the video conference.

The opposite person whom I was talking to me, she sent me a request it opened in the browser then later in the Festoon window.

It had both Voice and Video so the quality wasnt good (as my connection sux, so cool luck for the people with good connection speed).

I guess, I will give it another shot when I leave office and go back home.

Any tips ??

I've never used Google talk, is it any better than MSN? If so, in what ways, and can it do msn can't?
Do your contacts need to be using it too, or is it like trillian, and you can see MSN contacts on it?

Google Talk was released by Google as an instant message program for the ever expanding group of GMail users. It doesn't have very many features and lacks all of the winks and nudges etc. available in MSN Messenger.

This looks like a great little program to add to Google Talk. I find its much quicker than the MSN equivalent and there is not so much lag between the two people talking,
