Gmail adds support for multiple calls

Gmail multiple call feature


We have all admired Gmail's excellent communication features like voice,video calling and the recently introduced phone calling. Earlier, we could make or receive a single call at a time but today Gmail adds support for multiple calls. Don't confuse multiple calls with call conferencing. Multiple calling feature will just let you put a call on hold while you talk on another call. The mechanism behind this is pretty simple - you are indulged in call, somebody else calls you, you are prompted with options to accept or reject the call, if you happen to accept the call then previously active call will be automatically put on hold while you talk on the new call. ( Simple right ? ). You can resume or put on hold any call at any time.

This was a much awaited feature and I'm glad that it's finally introduced in Gmail.
