1. How To Use The Hangouts Feature on
Google+

2. Arguably the best feature to come
from The Google+ Project, is Hangouts
– Google’s own group video
conferencing service. It’s a highly
convenient way to connect with
people, anytime, anywhere – with very
little effort or organizing involved.

3. So, today we’re going to talk about
Hangouts, and how you can use this
feature for your own business
purposes.

4. Using Google+ Hangouts

5. The Hangouts section of Google+ is
where a lot of the main action
happens between friends, groups,
business contacts, or anyone willing to
join in the conversation and meet new
people.

6. It’s basically a live video chatroom,
where you can speak with up to nine
different people at once. Don’t worry
about the limit right now, Google+ is
going to expand it soon. First you’ll
have to invite people to your
‘chatroom,’ and you can do this by
selecting one of three options.

7. Invite friends by email that aren’t on
Google+, invite friends from your
circles or leave it public, so anyone can
decide to pop in. Once all of your
friends have arrived, you can chat to
them in person, or use the text chat
option as well.

8. There is a Youtube button that means
you can watch videos with the people
in your Hangout. In the extras section,
you can even work on a Google
document with your group.

9. How Do You Use Hangouts For Work?

10. Google+ is a great tool for any person
that needs to connect with people
when they aren’t at the office, or
aren’t in the country. All over the US
clubs, groups, societies and companies
are using Google+ to bring people
together.

11. Collaborate on a project with co-
workers or host a video conference
with a few of your clients – the
applications are virtually limitless.

12. New to Hangouts is the Hangouts on
Air concept, that allows Google+ users
to broadcast live videos to the public.
This is great for anyone that loves to
webcast.

13. It seems the whole goal of Hangouts is
to eventually become a fully integrated
collaboration tool. There is even
screensharing and a sketchpad tool.
Will this usher in a new generation of
live-cast videos? Perhaps.

14. Here are some great ideas on how you
can use the new Hangouts. Start a
vlog, and gain a following by doing it
on Google+. Do you love reviewing
products?

15. Do it in Hangouts. Use it for expert
Q&A sessions, or to clear up project
details with a new client or two. Why
don’t you crowd source new ideas
from the public, or announce you need
help with a project and see who
answers!

16. This is an excellent tool for developing
your personal brand on the internet. It
makes using video online easy and fun
again. It also feels more fun that using
a similar program, like skype. This is
definitely one of the better things to
come out of Google+, we hope they
run with it, and keep developing the
concept.
