Last time I tried, Google Hangout required not only a Google account but also Google+. You then needed to install a propietary plugin that refused to work / be installed. That's my experience with Google Hangout. Connecting instead to a YouTube stream (RTSP I guess?) while reading on irc looks promising. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
