Today we’re making video a bit more fun by letting you record and share videos of yourself using your webcam,” Google’s Shana Gitnick, who works on the Google+ Photos team, wrote.

“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,” she explained.

This new feature is simple in use. now users do not need to upload their videos on YouTube before sharing to friends. They can deirectly record videos on Google+ and then share. All these recorded videos will be hosted on Picasa server which had added video support few months back.
