Google hangout
1. Google hangout
Google Plus just had a BIG Update! By launching Google hangout On May 15,
2013 now you can be social and stay connected globally anytime, anywhere in
easy & sophisticated way.
Google has now reinvented Google Talk as Google plus Hangouts. Discover
Hangout, it’s a fun!
Google Talk, Gchat used to be called hangouts but that was really ‘Google plus
Video Chat’ without the integration, and Google Messenger. Phew, I think life is
easier in the Plus. So what’s so different in new Google hangout?
Google Hangouts is all about-
1. Hangouts can be video calls or messages.
Free video chat service – Google enables both one-on-one chats and group chats
with up to ten people at a time, while somewhat similar to Skype, and Face book
Video Chat, Google Hangouts focuses more on "face-to-face-to-face" group
interaction as opposed to one-on-one video chats, and utilizes sophisticated
technology to seamlessly switch the focus to the person currently chatting.
2. All your friends can use Hangouts
Google Hangouts can be accessed via laptop and desktop computers as well as
with Android mobile devices and, in the near future, iOS-powered mobile
devices. In addition to video chatting, Hangouts users can share documents,
scratchpads, images and YouTube videos with other users. Hangouts also offer a
"Hangouts on Air" feature for broadcasting live video conversations that are
accessible to anyone with a web browser.
If you see old Google chat you will understand new version is so sophisticated &
when you click on any ones profile, a big window appears. It’s not congested like
before and it’s a fun to experience.
2. 3. Group conversations are better than ever
Send photos or emoji, see when people are engaged in the Hangout and message
friends anytime.
4. Reach your friends even if they're not connected
Your friends will always receive your messages, even when they're not at their
computer.
If Lina has a green bar under her photo, she should see your message right away.
Lina will be notified on her phone or computer if she doesn't see your message
right away.
3. 5. Video calls make Hangouts more fun
Turn any conversation into a video call with up to 10 friends. Then add apps and
effects to put a smile on your face.
6. HOA – Google created very interesting app that is you can create a
hangout-on-air, integrate with a Google+ event and set it up on YouTube
afterwards. Once you’ve starting Google hangouts, you may well want to
‘go live’.
The great thing about hangouts is how they integrate with Google events,play
live on your connected YouTube channel and get saved there as well.
So, you will definitely like to ‘starts a hangout-on-air’.
More fun in hangouts:
You can add Over 800 fun, new emoji, Ability to share photos, dancing ponies, an
array of funny little images and more.
4. Adding photos to the party
One very cool feature is how you can add in photos…
As you can see, there is a little camera icon in the corner of the text aspect of the
hangout.
Old hangout has invisible mode but now it has been taken away from the new
Hangouts. Instead of that on new hangout have snooze notification.
If you are Google talk lover then one thing you are going to miss that is ‘Google
voice calls app.’
This has come as a shock to Google Talk users that they are no longer on their
favorite Google voice calls app.
So, pals Enjoy Hangout and keep connected!
