Just like other apps trending online, google hangout is becoming a more popular term among digital natives across the globe including Nigeria. Although in Nigeria, it is often used by celebrities and very important personalities, like a former governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, who used it a couple of years ago.
Hanging out on Google also helps individuals to
gather more information from experts or individuals who are knowledgeable on such subjects. It makes stream of conversation more real and authentic than just reading it (Facebook). There are interactions among the participants. However, the slow learner may ask, what is Google hangout? Simply put, hangouts are more of an engagement tool with friends, very much like Google chat and Skype.
There are two types of Google hangouts, hangouts and hangouts on air. Google Hangouts is an awesome instant messaging app. You can download it to your android device or iPhone/iPod/iPad. Also, you can download an extension for Google Chrome that will automatically start when you turn on your computer. Google hangout is like skyping or video chatting. You can only use it if you have a webcam on your computer. To use it, you go to your google + account (if you don’t have one, they are easy to set up; just go to more under google and join).
Simply put, a Google Hangout on Air is a great alternative to expensive webinar solutions where you and up to nine guests can hangout and discuss whatever topic takes your fancy and broadcast that conversation to the rest of the world. Your Google Hangout on Air is automatically broadcast live to both your Google+ home page and YouTube channel for the world to see
