Hi Plussers!  This week’s special guest on the TGIF Business Networking Hangout is Nicole Levac,nature inspired personal transformation coach. 

What We’ll Be Discussing  
Just what do we mean by personal transformation, and how does it help people in their personal and business lives? Nicole calls herself a “Locksmith for Your Soul” - we’ll be finding out what she means by that, and also discussing her love of and connection to Nature, how nature has inspired and shaped her coaching services and programs, and how Nature plays an important role in her work helping others to connect with and realize their inner dreams and desires.

About the Special Guest Nicole Levac
It is Nicole’s own life journey and transformation that led her to the path of helping others with theirs. Her background training and experience includes business and marketing as well as healing and energy work. Nicole is the author of the Lessons from Nature and Nature’s Wisdom blog series. She hosted and ran a nature retreat called Journey to your Soul, in which participants learned to connect with themselves, unlock their uniqueness and inner beauty, and bring it to their daily lives through their connection with Nature. Learn more about Nicole at http://nicolelevac.com

Looking for a solution: We have had three HOAs, where one or two people, on the Panel (in the Filmstrip) could NOT hear another panelist. Totally Weird. The solution was to REFRESH the browser.

Also, twice, my lower 3rd would not show up, even when it was turned on. The Beta Comment Tracker comments wouldn't show up either. Again, REFRESH resolved this.

Any clues ? or is anyone else having these issues? Browser, not platform (Mac / PC) didn't matter. One person in our community suggested an update to Chrome, but we had other browsers with the sound issue.

Thank you,

Russ

Help I'm Livestreaming now at EPA Water Technology Innovation Cluster Leaders Meeting from Pittsburgh, don't have a way to test whether sound, video working, and whether people can type in chat box. Could someone please go to the site and type in a comment, and let me know what you see? I have other cameras I can use if this it spotty although, from my end, it looks like the built-in video camera was working as well as the 920 and other attachable camera I have (I just switched to the 920). Note: I am NOT looking to start a hangout (and please don't call me to start one - will interrupt my current hangout) - but looking to see whether you cen see the embedded hangout and comment on the chatbox below the video.

Today I got a call from the head of the EPA water innovation clusters and she wants me to come out to Pittsburgh to provide online access to their meeting of cluster leaders! WOO HOO! John Brown Andrew Hatchett hopefully I can test some of the tweaks we discussed last night after last week's online participation.  I may be able to bring people into the filmstrip this time, and I'll moderate their networking and workshopping with each other during the breaks and breakouts, and/or bring over speakers to talk with the online folks. I already received the presentations in dropbox and they are all in PDF - do I need to do anything to a PDF to save it on a google drive if I do this on the Chromebook? Or do I have to have the presentations on a different computer and call that into the Hangout separately?

Those following the 'Low Cost Dedicated HOA Machine' conversations will find this of interest.

There was a post about updates in G+ that impact HOAs - do I need to download those updates on each computer I'm using (I was going to call in on at least 2 different computers with 2 different G+ accounts).  If I need any support while setting up tomorrow morning at about 7:30 am EDT, will anyone be available here?  Probably not the West Coast folks (nor John Brown in Hawaii!). Anything I need to do to prep before tomorrow's all-day coverage of Water 2.0 on Earth Day via HOA???

Hello User2User folks!

Hello User2User folks!
I have 2 questions:

1) Does anyone do #HOAs or YouTube Live on the go? I am getting ready to be on the road for 2 months, and am trying to figure out what this could look like, and how interactive it would be. [Michael Daniels - I believe you mentioned using your phone for baseball games?]

2) This may be off-topic, but I sure would appreciate help from tech-savvy people. Can you let me know if the PayPal Add to Cart button works for you? I've had a comment that it didn't work, and think I fixed it.  But this seems to be challenging to check myself. (NO purchase necessary - please just let me know if it seems to be working for you.)

Thanks in advance for all the great support!

Community Centered Hangouts on Air - why you'll want to use them
This public HOA training session will take a close look at proven techniques to build an engaged community utilizing the power of Hangouts on Air (HOA).

We'll be joined by Pat Richley-Erickson &Russ Worthington who have taken this technique to a fine art and increased engagement and numbers of members in their DearMYRTLE's Genealogy Community using the power of Community Centered Hangouts on Air.

Also in the filmstrip will be Heather Kraafter &Michael Daniels, both of whom are part of the team that developed the methods this Public Community started out with before they fully refined it for their own purposes.

All those listed above are part of the Hangout Mastery private membership community where wonderful things like this are developed and tested. To join us in the private membership visit www.bit.ly/HangoutMastery

By the time this HOA goes live we will have completed our private training on the why and how to make this work inside the Hangout Mastery areas and the video of that session will be archived for all existing and future members to watch as often as they like.

Google Apps Vault is now fully compatible with Hangouts conversations
Hello Administrators,

Google Apps Vault is now fully compatible with Hangouts conversations, which means that you can retain, search for, and place holds on all Hangouts conversations with history turned on. Please note that support applies only to Hangouts conversations that occurred after this feature launched on April 8, 2015.

To learn more about using Vault and Hangouts in your organization, visit the Vault Help Center.

Can anyone decipher this for me please with regard to the difference between hangouts and hangout conversations. I use Google Hangouts for clinical, private sessions and as such I need to ensure the privacy for a number of requirements.

I use Google Vault for email etc but don't understand at this time how this will work for Hangouts and which aspects of Hangouts this will currently apply to

Any comments would be much appreciated

Thought this would be on interest to members of the community who have web sites.

New Hangout Toolbox


New Hangout Toolbox

As some may have noticed there are now 2 Hangout Toolbox Apps available when in a HOA. The new one has, imho, a more attractive interface. The new one does not automatically transfer old Lower Thirds or custom overlays at this time. 

One interesting aspect is that both the old and new Hangout Toolbox apps can, at least for now, be used at the same time.

In the picture below the Lower Third in yellow came from the old Toolbox while the pink 'Upper Third' (for lack of a better name) came from the new Toolbox.

Interesting update to the mobile version of communities.

Interesting update to the mobile version of communities.
I would be curious to find out what everybody thinks about it

Hi, Brain Trust.

Hi, Brain Trust. My next guest on CHANGES HOA is using Windows XP on a wireless laptop connection. I did a practice with him today and it was awful:
1) the audio had a lot of interference/extra noises
2) every time he moved, there was a blurring
3) the image was blurry even when he stayed still
4) the image and audio were jerky and kept stopping, almost crashing, then resuming

I asked him please to arrange for a wired connection between now and Tuesday and we could test it again (Show is Wed. AM CDT). Will that fix it?

Thanks.

Humans seem to live in continuous discord and conflict - and in the bottom of their heart they desire peace and harmony. And what we often do is creating something which looks like harmony from the outside but more often than not it is only a curtain which we construct to cover our "inability" to enter into real harmony.
Destiny? - No! When we change our perspective on what we perceive as disharmonic we gain the ability to see and live the harmony behind all things - and from there literally create harmony where conflict resided before, like in our relationships with other people.

We will start with the harmonic system of sounds, known for thousands of years and only lately brought into the awareness of the Western World by Harmonic chanting or Overtone singing where an infinite harmony is creating itself. From there we will go to explore how to harmonize the inner voices, the often contrasting sounds which reach our inner ears. Finding a way to harmonize these voices gives us the possibility to harmonize the world around us. Our possible CONTRIBUTION to create PEACA AND HARMONY ON EARTH

I wasn't aware that the maximum resolution supported by a web camera during a SHOA was 720p. Apparently a lot of people weren't !! Upon further investigation, many of us do not know where to adjust the resolution for their camera's. 

Since there are a lot of new people in the User2User LIVE community and its actually something I can speak about with a moderate amount on intelligence. Usually most Thursday nights I sit in Tech Talks and look smart while everyone else talks over my head.

So here is a small tutorial on how and where to adjust the resolution on your web camera

Had a few tech problems with today's CHANGES HOA which forced me to "go out and come in again" several times prior to going live just to get the Comment tracker to show on screen and to get my Lower Third to work. Also, video and audio were out of synch at first.
 Finally got those going only to find out that the camera wasn't switching to each speaker automatically as each of us talked. I had to switch manually throughout the HOA. What a pain.

Any experience with the camera's not switching and ways to fix it in the future? Or, any of these other problems mentioned above, especially the out-of-synch thing, which occurred on Melita Noël Cantú 's HOA yesterday as well. 

Thanks, everyone! Andrew Hatchett  Michael Daniels Terry Leigh Britton Zara Altair Meloney Hall Rayne Dowell Sheila Strover 

Thanks!

Hi Michael Daniels

Hi Michael Daniels 

Sometime ago in the User2User Community you suggested using Paint. net for graphic etc. It's been fantastic!

However, I've got a new computer and I can't find a link to download it without a whole bunch of other junk being downloaded onto the Chrome browser.

Would you have a reliable link to download the program?

Most grateful.

Cheers

Come in tonight and ask some questions if you like.
I am Michael Daniels.  I helped start the User2 User community and I love the fact that we are TRULY all users helping one another.  So tonight my baseball game got cancelled because of rain, so I wanted to have an impromptu Hangout to let new folks come ask questions and let some regulars chime in.
☻ I will walk you around the insides of a hangout
☻ Then take a brief tour of User2User.  
☻ After that I will invite Andrew Hatchett into the hangout since he owns the community.

My baseball got cancelled tonight so I wanted to hangout.  Come join us tonight if your  newbie and ask any question you want. I would love to have you in  the hangout part just let me know if you are interested.

Let's talk about the community.
► What are folks using this community for?
► What would you like to see?
► Do you ever jump into a BHOA to ask a quick question?
► Do you ever start a post to learn a little more?
► Do you put a hangout link in a post so you can hangout with folks to learn a little more
► Do you know about hangout cameras, mics, filmstrip, pinning, chat, Event chat, YouTube chat, screen share, hangout toolbox, lower 3rd, creating a lower 3rd......

If you answered the last one with a maybe, no, or would like to learn more then, come join us and ask away.

Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are
Fake it 'till you make it?

Practicing Power Poses for 2 minutes can change who you are says Social Scientist Amy Cuddy in this Inspiring 21 minute Ted Talk video.

Paraphrased:
We know that our Body Language changes what other people feel about us, but can our Body Language change how we feel about ourselves?

Watch the inspiring video to see the path Amy Cuddy shows us in discovering:

Our bodies change our minds…
…and our minds change our behavior
…and our behavior changes our outcomes.

Near the end of the video, Amy changes the "Fake it 'till you make it" phrase to become "Fake it 'till you ….. (watch the video to know what comes next).

Hello, Everyone

Hello, Everyone
I have been reading posts and getting the feel of a very helpful community.  I am trying to learn G+. Haven't got the full  hang of circles and communities but I am learning. I was introduced to hangouts by Lisa Engles and look forward to learning to use them well.  I will be using the resources here. Thank you

I am serving a support community for Christian wives. My heart is especially for those struggling to maintain or recovering from marriages that have failed.

Well, this is curious. When I select "Yes" or "Maybe" on an HOA Event, my Google Calendar is no longer updating.

Well, this is curious. When I select "Yes" or "Maybe" on an HOA Event, my Google Calendar is no longer updating.

I just noticed today that the reminder for Roland's Saturday Morning Smarties was not on my calendar even though I replied "Maybe" several days ago. I've since responded to several other Events on G+ and they are not updating either. 

Anyone else experiencing this? What setting have I messed up that would stop this desired behavior?

Greeting, Everyone.

Greeting, Everyone.

I thought it would be only right to finally introduce myself. Everyone has been great, helping me, and offering great advice. Many thanks, and I appreciate the warm reception.

As a husband and father I have all great relationships with my family.  We live in Rancho Santa Margarita, a relatively small and newer community in Southern Orange County, California. 

I am a web designer, G+ addict, and YouTube Specialist, and promote these platforms as what I refer to as "The Internet Marketing Tripod." I also produce my own weekly, hour-long hangout series called, "Saturday Morning Marketing Smarties," #SMMSmarties  , where we share the current basics, best practices and trends in marketing for small business.

Open to any and all contacts, and always seeking great strategic alliances, I welcome anyone to ping me.  

Thanks!  Roland

YouTube Partner Update: new terms cover paid subscriptions

YouTube hasn't provided any details beyond a basic FAQ::

The same ad-supported, free version of YouTube we all know and love won’t be going anywhere—and is a core focus of our company. All of your videos will continue to be there. A paid offering will simply give your fans new features that they don’t have today and you an additional source of revenue.

If you are a YouTube Partner, you probably have received an email announcing new Terms You can see the same announcement on your Creator Studio dashboard (www.youtube.com/dashboard).

Greetings! Is anyone having issues with Windows 8 and HOAs?

Greetings! Is anyone having issues with Windows 8 and HOAs? 

I have a friend using W8, and HOAs tend to shut down, and will not function, even though she just bought her laptop, which is a pretty substantial Lenovo PC. 

Could it be a settings issue, or some level of permissions in the Chrome browser?

She can achieve some success joining Hangouts (as panel member, or filmstrip member...) with Firefox.

Any clues are appreciated. Thanks.  Roland
