  1. Jim Burwell How are you trying to invite them in?
    The invite button ( little man with plus sign) or sending the  link shown in the browser bar?

  2. Andrew Hatchett I've tried to invite when I initially set it up and also when I get into the green room with the "people icon" and still no soap.

  4. Jim Burwell Do you get an error message of any type or is it that people just aren't getting the invites that you know of?

  7. Jim Burwell I'm headed out the door to visit my brother and his family and will be gone most of the day - I'll be thinking about this and hopefully Michael Daniels will chime in in the mean time. I'll contact you after I get home this evening.

  10. Michael Daniels I've tried setting it up on the Google side under Hangouts/click blue button to start handout/ --- the normal way AND I've tried it via YouTube as well. I can bring up my hangout screen and everything looks normal with the exception of being able to invite anyone.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Michael Daniels Yes - screen is normal with all the regular tools on left, people icon on top with the settings wheel, etc....

  13. Ok, wait a minute.  So you can send invites?  But they don't receive them?  I need to know what you see and what you are doing step by step. Because it sounds like you have the buttons, you can select folks, they are just not getting them.  That is completely different monster.

  16. Michael Daniels Whoa! You got my invite??? Leila can't receive my invites? Maybe Leila accidently/or not (heheh) blocked me?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yes, that is strange.  I went step by step as you did and did not get the number 11
    It seems like it is forcing you in as a guest.  Just curious is this a page or profile?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Michael Daniels Not sure what you mean " Just curious is this a page or profile?"
    I click on +Jim to get to my Google + page, go to hangouts on the left side and click "start a hangout on air".....that answer for you?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Michael Daniels I find it strange that you received my invite -- Leila did not. I checked and she did not have me blocked in any way.

  20. Michael Daniels Answer to your question: It is through my PROFILE.

  21. Got it.  Sorry had to do a hangout.
    What circle do you have her in?  Is she in Google's  default "following" circle?

  23. Michael Daniels I am back at my PC trying to find a swtch/button or something that might have been tampered with accidently in the process of debugging my PC.

    I want to try and re-install ManyCam now that I have Trend Anti-virus software on my PC - b;ut not until I resolve this issue.
