What is Google Plus Hangout?

Google+ Hangout is a free multi-purpose online telephone system. It is useful for real time audio, video and even screen sharing sessions online. Regardless of your physical location, persons who have an Internet connection can use it for live audio-visual chats.

--> This post offers a video introduction to Google+ Hangout, list of minimum requirements, setup steps and a list of other options. I love Google+ Hangout because it does everything that other computer-to-computer options like Skype can and much more ... for free. For instance, Google Plus Hangout allows you to hold free online video conference calls with up to 9 other people. The image above is a good example of an online video conference call. Attendees can see all other attendees live. The video of the lady and her daughter get larger above the others because she is currently speaking. You can even let such online video conference calls go live on Youtube (ie live-stream online conference calls on air) for the world to see. Your Hangouts may also be named and recorded for later review. These are only a few examples among many other Google+ Hangout features.
