SFGate.com reports that Google is about to expand Google Talk to include video conferencing.

Gmail’s voice and video chats are now limited to one-to-one communications, but Google wants to broaden that capability to more than two participants and make it more robust all around for Apps.

“This [current Gmail capability] is the first step in a much broader set of features we hope to roll out over the next six to 12 months around video [and voice] chat capabilities,” said Rishi Chandra, a Google Apps product manager. “It’s a great opportunity for us to push that space along.”

The Google Operating System blog reports that these updates should be rolling out in the coming months.
