This is the fifth in a series of video tutorials by Peter Adams, Online Operations Coordinator, on the Google Talkabout Blog to give you a walkthrough demo of Google Talk. If you have missed the earlier four, here are the links:

Part 1 - Adding Friends
Part 2 - Block or remove contacts
Part 3 - Voice Calls
Part 4 - Voicemail

Sometimes, the sound of your friend's voice or the sight of a favorite smiley may not be enough; you might need to connect by sending along your writing portfolio, or a recording of duck calls, or a video of a guy throwing silly putty from the roof of a parking structure.

In the heat of the moment, we can't anticipate what files you may need to send. That's why you can send any file of any size and type, any time. For more on sending files through Google Talk, watch this.
