Re: Using Google Hangouts?
Hi Max, Thanks so much for the info. I'd actually like to do a trial run if you don't mind, I don't want to look like an idiot when I have to do it for my job. :) I have a G+ account on my current work addie. Once I get past the holidays, I'll try and invite you to a hangout. Thanks for offering to help.

Re: Using Google Hangouts?
hey donna; people did it for me. robin hallett helped me when i started with Skype and mitchell walker stepped up when i did my first hangout. will be very happy to help whenever you are ready. have a merry christmas, ps one thing about google hangouts is they don't always work right even for the sighted so practice is no guarantee you won't occasionally look like an idiot. :) On Dec 20, 2014, at 11:52 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: Hi Max, Thanks so much for the info.

Re: Using Google Hangouts?
hi donna; when i was doing one every week up until a few months ago i was not real happy with it. there were a lot of unlabelled buttons. i didn't feel confident using it by myself. but a few weeks ago i had to communicate with someone who insisted on doing a hangout. since it was their show i said okay. i was pleasantly surprised to find they have labelled all the buttons. some of their add ons still don't play nice one called the tool box in particular but they are getting better. i find my biggest complain with google being that the circles aren't labelled when you are trying to add to a circle or move people between circles. now to the limitations of a hangout or hangout on air. with a hangout you can invite as many people as you want but only have ten participating at one time. with a hangout on air you can only invite 100 people and still have only ten in the conversation. the real difference is that a hangout is not recorded while a hangout on air is automatically uploaded to youtube. hope this helped, max On Dec 18, 2014, at 11:06 AM, Donna Goodin wrote: Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has any experience using Google hangouts on the Mac?

Re: Using Google Hangouts?
Hi Max, Sounds like we're in pretty much the same position. I just took a new job. I'll be working virtually and using google hangouts to connect with other staff.
