plugin
Browser helper module
A plugin is software that adds features to an existing program without altering its core code.
Web browsers use plugins for media playback; audio software uses them for effects and instruments.
The term reflects the modular design: you plug functionality in as needed.
Also spelled plug-in.
Install the plugin to enable video chat.
