Answer 2

Gmail does computer to phone calling using a Google Voice number and a plugin. I don't believe Google Voice does video chat or conference calling. It does SMS messaging, that's one of its main features along with voicemail. Filesharing is offered through Google Docs. Video and Audio recording is best done with software on your computer.

Google does it all computer to phone google voice with or without your own phone number it is hidden in gmail on left bottom call phone. Google plus video chat for groups hangout, send sms with google voice or email see link below, conference calls with google voice they call you could conference call, file sharing google docs and video and audio recording separate software.
