    Hangouts: video chat even without a Google account

    Google announced an update to its Hangouts messaging system a few hours ago. This will allow you to invite anyone to join a video chat, whether the person has a Google account or not. Thus, your video calls will be made very easily and more freely.

    Until now, it was possible to add a little everyone for a written or audio conversation on Hangouts. The interlocutor was not required to be in possession of a Google account, it was enough just to call him and his number was added. In a few hours, things will evolve in the right direction since, by means of a link sent to your interlocutor, this one will be able to join your video chat, even if he is not affiliated with a Google Account.




    Forget the registration forms, the agreements to be made, the regulations to be accepted. The Mountain View firm has thus decided to facilitate professional exchanges. Indeed, often during meetings, companies, clients, consultants and other organizations are not necessarily linked to a Google account. Here is how the process was explained:

    Stay in touch with colleagues and improve your productivity while maintaining the necessary control and monitoring over your work environment.

    La monitoring is an important part of this update. The person sending the invitation email to join a discussion retains the ability to add, remove or exclude a participant throughout the discussion. Control remains in the hands of the caller.

    Also, this feature now works with Google Calendar. If you have made sure that the time indications (dates, days, hours) indicated in conversation open directly from Hangouts to Calendar, all you have to do to invite your interlocutor is to send them a Calendar invitation:




    Imagine being an industrialist. Wanting to talk to their supplier, you finally decide to add an important customer to the discussion:



    • Invite this third participant via Google Calendar
    • The participant clicks on the link received and enters his name
    • For the sake of control and security, you will have the choice to accept or refuse the incorporation of this third person, whether you are on your computer, mobile or Chromebook.
