Looking for Effective Communication Tools? Try Google+ Hangouts
Yes even Barack Obama does hangouts!
Google+ hangouts is a video chat program that allows a speaker to connect to nine more users to start a chat. There’s a lot of educational possibilities to be enjoyed when you use Google+ hangouts to discuss a business idea with clients. People from around the world can enjoy real-time conversations without leaving the comfort of their own homes. This is a more beneficial and cost-effective option than traveling to meet everyone in a faraway place.
Make meetings more manageable and easier to set up with a Google+ hangout. Here are some steps to follow to set up an online meeting using this marvelous piece of technology:
- If you don’t have a Google account yet, create a Gmail account and set up your own Google+ account. Everyone who needs to participate in a meeting with you should have their own Google+ account.
- Make sure you are all connected with each other. If not, send contact requests so you can soon start to enjoy video chatting.
- Integrate YouTube and Picasa accounts with your Google+ account. This will make it easier for you to immediately share videos and photos. You can also show your screen to everyone in the chat using the “share your screen” option.
- Test the system to see that the video and audio are working properly. This will minimize hassles and installation troubles by the time you set up your group conversation.
