The process is real quick and anyone can work this feature out. Basically, there is no wastage of time, which is the most important point. Shana has explained the feature as below:
Google+ has long been the place to share and interact with video — Whether it’s using Hangouts with your friends or watching YouTube videos. Today we’re making video a bit more fun by letting you record and share videos of yourself using your webcam. To get started, click the video icon in the share box and choose Record Video. Once you’ve authorized Flash to access your camera, you can start recording. And once you’re done, the video appears as an attachment to your post — ready to share with your circles.
This might have made it easy for users of Google+ to share videos easily, but many techies are still criticizing Google to push deeper into the personal space. The thought might be that just an instant status update is not enough, when people want to share and express a lot. For the same visual reason, one saw the Hangout playing an important part of Google+ development. But this feature seems to be just another trick to pull in visitors.
Google is ascending in the right direction to keep, or rather push itself nearer to the likes of Facebook and Twitter, especially as far as activeness is concerned.
From a user’s point of view, it would definitely save time. However, the question is, how many would actually switch over to Google+ for an instant video make-and-upload. There is a possibility that many would like to use it, but its usage would really be of help, when the activeness on Google+ rises. This means that Google is working on a platform, rather than promoting Google+.
The search engine giant’s efforts for Google+ are huge, but it is urging users to have a Google+ account and even be active on it.
Talking about using this feature, as can be seen in the screenshot above, one has to click on the video icon in the Google+ share box and choose Record Video. Clicking on it, will prompt a pop-up, asking users to authorize Flash to access their web camera before being able to record video. Once done with it, users can record a video and then the recorded video can be posted and shared within their circles.
It would be interesting to see if Facebook comes in with a similar feature for its social networking site.
