Open beta: How the next step for Google+ is great news for you

September 22, 2011

Hangouts with extras: Group projects just got a whole lot easier. Video chat with your friends while using screen sharing and Google Docs integration to work collaboratively in real-time or doodle just for fun.

Hangouts On Air: Only 10 people at a time can participate in a Google+ Hangout, but now, many more can be involved using Hangouts On Air, which broadcast live Hangouts in the Google+ stream. Perfect for panel discussions, large events, office hours, lectures, or master classes, this allows you and your friends to tune into an event without worrying about getting a seat...or even leaving your room. We’re starting with a limited number of broadcasters, but any member of the Google+ community can tune in.

Search on Google+: Find people who share your interests and expand your Google+ network.

Hangouts on mobile: Not at your computer but need to be part of a conversation? Now you can join a video chat from your Android phone by tapping on an existing hangout when it appears in your stream. This will be coming to iOS devices soon.
