Hangouts has become useless on my computer. I am not sure if it's my computer or Reliance. Just does not work fine on either Chrome or Firefox.

OMG. Hangouts actually added a new feature. So I guess now there's no need to add more for the next 3-4 years.

So Hangouts has added a new feature in a gap of just 4 months. Someone should tell Google to take it easy. They shouldn't over stress themselves.

Google Apps update alerts: Better group chat controls are coming to Google Hangouts

google hangouts update is being posted by the google apps blog. good indication that google aims to focus on hangouts for the corporates once allo is out.

Share your group chats with short links

Group chat participants can now share a link to invite others to join the chat. This is particularly useful for onboarding new team members to a project, or to reach everyone in a mailing list. Rather than adding everyone at once, people can opt-in to the group chat.

Search for groups from your Google Hangouts contacts list

In order to make it easier to get to your group chats, you can also easily find your group conversations by searching for the group name or participant name.

Additional controls to manage group chat access

When team members leave a project, it may be necessary to remove them from group chats. Now, anyone who is directly invited to a chat will be able to remove others from the group chat, removing that person’s access to the chat history and notifying the group participants. Only by being directly invited back by someone already in the group, can the former member rejoin the chat.

I am just happy that I do not use this piece of shit anymore.

I never used it except for testing what it actually is. (or in early days)

They will probably drop this in future saying that they are now focusing on Google Duo!

 

[Sushubh]

Hangouts is now aimed at business users (Google Apps). The way Duo is designed, it is not suitable for corporate sector.
