How much fun are you having with Hangouts? Got questions? Ask the Hangout Helper, not me.Google Meet on PC is a business app where you get to connect and collaborate easily and securely. Oh, the fun to be had on Google Hangouts! Or, in my case, grab a still of myself on a beach background. Separate functions allow you to also chat among yourselves between your rants, to screenshare images and documents on your hard drive, capture still images of whatever transpires on screen, and add visual or audio effects like cartoon mustaches, drum rolls, and exotic backgrounds. Google Hangouts allows you to more than just chat with up to 10 people. Use a Google+ and YouTube account connected to your Gmail address and to top it off, use the Google Chrome browser. This name canвЂ™t be changed as it is linked to my marickane at account. When I went to broadcast my Hangout with Bonnie, Google was kind enough to start a whole new YouTube channel for me, eponomously named, Mari Kane. This warning gave me pause as my Winetalker channel once had a copyright strike from Germany, where they refuse to believe that a band like The Bad Plus actually gave me permission to use one of their songs. Have a Clean, Gmail-Connected YouTube AccountДЄlong the way, I read that the YouTube account your Hangout is broadcast on must be in вЂњgood standing,вЂќ that is, free of any strikes by YouTube. Upshot: Your Google + account must be connected to a gmail account if you want to broadcast your Hangout. So, in order to broadcast my Hangout with Bonnie, I had to log in using a gmail address, and then I opened a new Google + account, into which imported my circles. What I found is that I can use a non-gmail Google + account to start a Hangout, but I canвЂ™t broadcast it On Air. I also have a YouTube account that predates Hangouts and GoogleвЂ™s acquisition of YouTube, that uses an old, non-gmail email address. Like most of us, I have many email addresses that pre-date gmail. Upshot: Use a computer with OS 10.8 or better.

I had to buy a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to be able to upload the Hangouts plugin.

Google wonвЂ™t tell you this in so many words, but they should. The first thing I learned about Google Hangouts is that I could not upload its plugin on my old Macbook Pro with its wimpy 10.6 operating system.

This guy tells you everything you need to know about becoming a Hangout star.ДЇar be it for me to try reinventing the How-to-Hangout wheel, but IвЂ™ve got my own tips on how to use Google Hangouts On Air that just might save you some time. Ronny Bincer calls himself the Hangout Helper and has created numerous videos about using Hangouts. GoogleвЂ™s own site has an extensive number of pages devoted to Hangouts This WikiHow article shows in succinct, but graphic detail all the ways to make use of this tool Since Google Hangouts launched a more unified system last year, much has been written and broadcast about what Hangouts is and how to use it. In my haste, I forgot to put up my lower third andВ managed to cut off my intro, but oh well. I wanted to create a similar video, using Hangouts On Air, to broadcast on my Winetalker YouTube channel. It was an interview with the social media maven, Bonnie Sainsbury, on whose YouTube show, Women Talking Tech I have appeared many times.

Last week, to fulfill one of my Internet resolutions of videocizing my work, I created a video for this blog. Thanks to Google Hangouts, anybody with a computer can host a chat show in the comfort of their own living room and broadcast their show on YouTube.
