Connect with more people with Hangouts

Google is easily one of the most prolific web development companies thanks to its wide variety of offered services. It has a video streaming platform, email client, and even cloud storage service. With Google Hangouts, it even has it's very own chat and call service tool. Google Hangouts is a great service for connecting and communicating with a lot of people at once. It is highly recommended for professional use. Moreover, it is also Windows 11 compatible.

Compatibility and Interface

Google Hangouts is multi-platform, so it can be accessed in a number of ways.  It has a web-app version that can be used through the Hangouts website. It’s also available as a desktop or mobile app. Finally, it can be installed as a Google Chrome extension. The Google Chrome extension can be seen as an icon on the Chrome browser address bar. Clicking on it will prompt a pop-up window to appear.

No matter which platform you use Hangouts on, the common trait among all of them is the easy interface. Unlike other messaging apps out there, Hangouts is not bloated with unnecessary elements like games or Stories. Instead, it only has the most important aspects you’ll need for a messaging app like contacts, conversations, and calls. One negative thing about Hangouts is that it will always prompt a new window for chats.

Features

Hangouts has all of the standard features for a messaging app. Not only can you chat with your friends, but you can also send media files like photos, and emojis. Unfortunately, you have to send an invite to other people before you can start a conversation with them. The best thing about Hangouts is that you can chat with a large group of people. Chat groups can host up to 150 people. Hangouts also supports video conference groups, and users can make free video calls with up to 10 people.

If your conversation history is being clogged by concluded conversations, users can archive them for better organization. These archived conversations can still be accessed at a later date. Alternatively, users can opt to leave the conversation entirely, but that would result in the conversation no longer being accessible to the user.

Easy and Simple Chat Service

Google Hangouts is great for professional use thanks to its no-nonsense interface and features. It doesn’t have the bloat that other messaging apps have, but it retains the power required to deliver high-quality performance to its users. If you need a messaging app without any unnecessary stuff or embellishment then Google Hangouts is a good app for you.
