Orkut recently announced the launch of orkut video chat, an easy way to get in touch with your family and friends that to face-to-face, directly from your orkut pages.

To chat face to face with your family and friends you just need to have a webcam & a microphone connected to your computer and a small plugin that is available for free at www.google.com/chat/video. The next step will be to validate your e-mail address on orkut as to be able to chat or video chat on orkut.
