Google Hangouts upgrade removes ability to host Google Voice calls on your computer
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Google new Hangouts messaging service is quite impressive — it takes Google’s old and neglected Talk service and upgrades it with always-on communication, support for images, video calling, and much more. But for all of the improved service that Hangouts offers, if you upgrade the Google Talk service within Gmail to Hangouts (by selecting the “Try the new Hangouts” option in Talk’s menu), you lose some significant features — namely the ability to set your availability status and, more importantly, the ability to place or receive Google Voice calls from within Gmail. Essentially, the new Hangouts removes the option to host a Google Voice call on your computer, something that many users find convenient and necessary in their day to day…

Google’s rumored Babel chat service will reportedly launch as Hangouts
Author: Rod Sutherland
Google hasn’t even officially launched Babel, but word on the street has it that the aforesaid term was being used internally to reference a new, unified chat platform. Now, TechRadar is reporting that Babel will simply become a part of Google Hangouts — almost certainly as a means to continue the art of subtly shoving Google+ onto every user it can. Moreover, the newly expanded Hangouts could launch as early as next week during Google I/O, and we’ll be there to bring you the goods if indeed it does.

Google Hangouts receive sign language interpreter support, keyboard shortcuts
Author: Melissa Shroeder
Video chat can be an empowering tool for hard-of-hearing internet citizens for whom sign language is easier than voice. Most chat software doesn’t easily bring an interpreter into the equation, however, which spurred Google into adding a Sign Language Interpreter app for Google+ Hangouts. The web component lets chatters invite an interpreter that stays in the background while they verbalize hand gestures. Google is also helping reduce dependencies on the mouse for those who can’t (or just won’t) use one during chat: there’s now keyboard shortcuts to start or stop chats, disable the camera and other basics that would normally demand a click. Both the interpreter app and shortcuts are available today.

Author: Stacey Cook
Google this week introduced two new accessibility features for Google+ Hangouts, as part of its ongoing efforts to bring its video conferencing service to disabled users. The company’s Sign Language Interpreter app allows users who are deaf or hard of hearing to include their own interpreter on a given Hangout. The interpreter’s image will be displayed in the top right corner of a Hangout window, and will automatically become the focus of the conversation whenever he or she speaks for a deaf user. This allows hearing impaired users to not only have their signs translated into spoken voice, but to receive their friends’ speech in sign language, as well.
Google has also released an updated set of keyboard shortcuts for users who are…

Google adds ‘Studio Mode’ to Hangouts On Air for dramatically improved music quality
Author:
A couple of months ago, Google made Hangouts On Air offered to all Google + individuals– this allowed anyone to host a Hangout and publicly transmit it live over both Google + and YouTube. Google states that the modern technology has been particularly embraced by musicians, who can easily use it to host live virtual concerts with around the world audiences, and now the company is revealing an audio-enhanced “studio method” to improve the quality of these performances. When starting a hangout, all you have to do is switch over from voice to studio mode and Google automatically enhances your audio outcome for popular music rather than chat, and the results are quite remarkable if the video clip below is to be believed. Instruments are much more clear, the mix is better balanced, and …

Maker Camp brings DIY fun to teens via Google+ Hangouts
Author:
Summer camp doesn’t have to suggest badly ventilated cabins, boring activities and horrible food. In fact, placed the principle in the hands of Google and Make, and there’s not also a requirement to leave the comfort of your own residence. The 2 have teamed up to deliver Producer Camp on Google +, a 6 week summertime program produced to encourage children to embrace their inner producer. The sessions will run every weekday starting July 16th. On Mondays through Thursdays a brand-new set of directions for the teen individuals to tackle will certainly be uploaded on Google +, then, in the afternoon, a counselor (typically one of Make’s own editors) will hold a Hangout to talk about the project and let the campers share their pictures, videos and notions. Every Friday Make will certainly host “area vacations” using Hangouts. There’s no requirement to sign up and no cost, the only requirements are that you be between the ages of 13 and 18, and have a Google + account. Look into the video clips after the break and the source links for more information.

Summer camp doesn’t have to mean poorly ventilated cabins, boring activities and terrible food. In fact, put the concept in the hands of Google and Make, and there’s not even a need to leave the comfort of your own home. The two have teamed up to deliver Maker Camp on Google+, a six week summer program designed to encourage kids to embrace their inner maker. The sessions will run every weekday starting July 16th. On Mondays through Thursdays a new set of instructions for the teen participants to tackle will be posted on Google+, then, in the afternoon, a counselor (often one of Make’s own editors) will hold a Hangout to discuss the project and let the campers share their photos, videos and thoughts. Every Friday Make will host “field trips” via Hangouts. There’s no need to register and no fee, the only requirements are that you be between the ages of 13 and 18, and have a Google+ account. Check out the videos after the break and the source links for more info.
