Now that we’re done with the introductory part of our course on Google Hangouts, let’s get started using it! The first thing that you will need to do is download and install the Google Hangouts app.
There are actually a couple of different ways that you can get Google Hangouts. For example, if you have an account on Gmail, Google’s email client, then Google Hangouts comes built into it! You can also install Google Hangouts as a small add-on feature to many common web browsers.
The two most accessible versions of Google Hangouts, though, are the app for mobile devices and the computer desktop program. To get the computer desktop version of Google Hangouts, though, you will need to have Google Chrome (Google’s web browser) installed on your computer as well. This lesson will show you how to get both of these versions of Google Hangouts.
Hangouts is not listed in my chrome prefs - the only place I can see it at all is when I'm signed in to Google (in Chrome on iMac) and it shows up along with Google Drive and all the other rubbish that I don't want. Some guy is trying to contact me thru an app I didn't even know I had and most DEFINITELY don't want. This app would be perfect if it allowed videos to be sent into the chat. Why do the Android and iOS Hangouts apps allow this, but not the CHROMEBOOK Hangouts app?! Chromebooks are Google products. You would think that they would be fully optimized for all Google software.
(NOTE: The instructions for downloading and installing Google Hangouts on mobile devices are based on a device running the Google Android operating system. We’ll provide hints as to how the process may differ on devices running Apple’s iOS operating system, such as iPads and iPhones.)
