Just did a practice run with some folks who will join us as guest in our HOA tomorrow.

Just did a practice run with some folks who will join us as guest in our HOA tomorrow. I muted them by clicking on mute in their "square" in the film strip. I could NOT unmute them from the box. Does this mean I need to have control box open from "get go" so I can control the mute and unmute button OR is this another Google Hiccup?

It seems Google still has an interest ...

Another G+ Android Update!


Another G+ Android Update!

Originally shared by Luke Wroblewski

G+ Android Update 7.5.0
Today we're starting to roll out our sixth Android app update of the year. This release mostly includes fixes and improvements but also one (very requested) feature:

* 34 bugs fixed
* 12 accessibility issues addressed
* Fixed crashing issues on Android M & LG devices
* Ability to retry sending failed posts
* Further improvements to Web page loading speeds: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+LukeWroblewski/posts/caBp7SZziTS

Note: we've kept the ability to filter Notifications by "all, unread, and other" off in this release as we're continuing to fix problems with it.

As always, additional Android updates are on the way, so please keep the ideas & issues coming by using our Send Feedback menu item. Thanks~

Chrome App Launcher on Windows is being removed!


Chrome App Launcher on Windows is being removed!

Someone tell me this is an April Fool's joke!

The app launcher makes Chrome apps easy to open outside the browser, but we’ve found that users on Windows, Mac, and Linux prefer to launch their apps from within Chrome. With Chrome’s continued emphasis on simplicity and streamlining browser features, the launcher will be removed from those platforms. It will remain unchanged on Chrome OS.

The removal process will take place over the next several months. Beginning in a few weeks, Chrome will no longer enable the launcher when users first install a Chrome app. Anyone who currently has the launcher will receive a notice informing them that the launcher will be going away. In July, existing instances of the launcher will be removed. - Google

Originally shared by Google

We are deeply saddened and appalled by the bombings in Brussels today, and by the recent violence in Turkey. Our thoughts are with the victims of these attacks, and their families.

To help people stay informed and connected with loved ones, we’re offering free calls via Hangouts, Hangouts Dialer or Google Voice to Belgium and Turkey. You can now make free calls to people on Belgium’s biggest mobile carriers—Lycamobile, Mobistar, Proximus, and Telenet—and to all landlines in Turkey.

iOS → https://goo.gl/FDOfq

Additionally, for people in and around Brussels, we have been publishing Google Now cards with transit updates and a direct link to the Government Crisis Centre, and have added those resources on Google for related searches.

Thank you for admitting me to your community, I was very active with G+ and hangouts on air until my IP removed...

Thank you for admitting me to your community, I was very active with G+ and hangouts on air until my IP removed themselves from gmail. Thus, I am re-establishing myself on G+. Some things seem familiar and some things are different. All I had to do is get another gmail account. I know this is obvious to many of you, but I am an old dog, and did not consider that until recently. The G+ interface has changed and at first I could not find the link for hangouts on air. I have viewed some you tube tutorial videos that have been very helpful. Some things Google want to verify by texting, but I have an old phone with no text ability. Like I said, I am an old man, and may be limited in my technology usage. Thank you for being patient with me. God bless you.
