Hangouts improves invitations for video calls on Android
Regular users of the video calls of the application Hangouts They will learn about the limitations and some of the obstacles that this Google communication service has on the Android platform And it's not all without facilities and advantages despite being the operating system of the company itself. Perhaps for this reason, he has decided to get down to work and improve one of the most interesting issues that this application offers: video calls
It is necessary to give the user background to understand that this function allows the user to share live video and audio with any other user from the mobile. However, the characteristic note of this service is being able to create mass conversations with different users from anywhere in the world who had to be invite manually, knowing their data for Google user and creating the appropriate invitation for them to agree to join the videochat Something that has now been made easier and accommodated so you don't have to waste time on this step.
In this way, Google has begun to progressively offer a new feature that offers to invite other users just by sharing a link with them.Thus, when creating the original video call, a window offers the user a convenient link that can copy and paste into any conversation, email or communication channel The user who receives this link only needs to click on it to access as a participant the Hangout directly, without configuration or other requirements. However, there are certain limitations.
First of all it is necessary to create the Hangout from the computer, where the link is offered or link as an invitation. And it is that from mobiles Android it is only possible to join one already created through this kind of comfortable links. In addition, the user who created the video call needs to manage the permissions for other external users to join via the link to prevent anyone echoing said link can enter freely.
With all this, it is much more comfortable and easier to offer others to join these video calls. And you no longer have to remember your Google account when creating the video call. Just share this link with all those you want to invite, being able to do so at any time and using their mobiles Android to share your image and sound at any time and place Of course, always with an administrator in charge to avoid any problem or more users join than you should.
This new feature of Hangouts is being distributed across the servers This means that it is not necessary to update the messaging and video calls application again from version 3.0 that was already distributed during the past week. All you have to do is wait for anyAndroiduser to join her from her device by simply clicking on a link that you have shared with him or her.
