https://bit.ly/U2U_QandA

today I clicked the link in Safari, and went to Business hangouts to start my session.

today I clicked the link in Safari, and went to Business hangouts to start my session. I clicked on the red button to start. Rather than start it took me to the splash page for the event asking me to sign in. I did, using google, although I was already signed in.

It then took me to the standard google hangout page, so I quit and tried again. Finally after three attempts as it was late, I made up a fake public hangout, and once in clicked on the business hangouts icon and went to scheduled hangouts and clicked. it opened what looked like the live business hangout window, but NONE of the people invited could find me. Where they showed up it said I had not arrived, though I was live. We spent an hour trying to get connected. Nothing worked. We went to Skype.

I will never get them back on business hangouts again, they were laughing. (luddites) Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on?

I have not had that problem before. I even invite people from within the live hangout, send them the link, they click it and they cannot get in.

Please help!

Not sure how long I'll be able to stay online - it ain't pretty!

Embed a Hangout on Air or YouTube livestream and live chat on your blog or website

Point your fans and followers to your website or blog to view your latest live broadcast. You can now include live chat as well!

Embed an upcoming livestream video on your blog or website

The embedded video will display your channel's channel art header as the thumbnail. When a visitor clicks the play button, they will see the countdown to the live event.

1. Schedule your livestream at YouTube Live Events (www.youtube.com/my_live_events) or set up a Hangout on Air Event on Google+

2. Open the video watch page, using the link on My Live Events in YouTube or your Google+ Event

3. Under the video click Share > Blogger to create a Blogger blog post.

If you don't have a Blogger blog click Share > Embed to get the embed code.

4. Once the embed code is added to your blog post or website, publish.

Embed a YouTube Live chat on your blog or website

Note that the live chat is only available until the event is over.

Your chat identity will be the channel you are signed into at www.youtube.com, which may not be the same as your Blogger or main Google identity.

>> AdSense does not allow ads on pages with dynamic content like live chats. You should disable AdSense ads on the page with the embedded live chat while the chat is live. <<

To embed the live chat you need to construct the embed URL. It's easiest to do that if you have already embedded the video in the post or page!

1. Open the post with the embedded livestream video and switch to HTML mode

2. Find the video ID of the livestream video
(that is the last part of the video URL)

3. Find your blog's domain
(no slashes or http: just a plain domain like www.peggyktc.com)

4. Construct the live chat URL

https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=&embed_domain=

Replace with the video ID
Replace with your blog's domain

5. Create an iframe

For example:



Replace with the URL you constructed in step 4.

Make sure you don't introduce any spaces or new characters into the URL.

6. Publish your blog post with the embedded live chat URL

Full instructions and example on my blog:

Lower Third not showing? Check this!

Some of you may have noticed issues with any overlay not showing recently. This is caused by a bug with Hangouts which is currently being investigated. In the meantime you can use this workaround.

Start your Hangout using https://talkgadget.google.com/hangouts/_/ which will make the overlays including lower thirds work again.

As you can see below it works just fine. And yes, this is the material design version I am still working on.........if I have time, that is.

Andrew suggested that I have more than one You Tube accounts. If so, how do I get rid of the extra one or more?

Can anyone help me?

Can anyone help me? 1)My problem is that I cannot get into Hangouts on Air as the Host. 2)In the setup, I enter the name of the HOA and description. 3)I enter the starting time and the length. 3)I enter my name and click on Share. Then a statement pops up that says, “Click here to verify your You Tube account.” 4)When I click on this statement a pop-up statement appears which reads, “Your account has been verified by You Tube already.” A “CONTINUE” button appears. 5)I click on the button and it takes me to the features page of my You Tube account. This happens every time I attempt to schedule an HOA.

What are missing useful tools from the new Hangout Video calls
I need these
I have to have the ability to mute a loud participant

We use chat all the time so we don't talk over one another

I use the apps along the side like hangout toolbox and effects and control room, etc.

I want the ability to pin someone on screen from time to time. If someone screen shares and someone else talks, this is not good in business

I have been reverting back to the old version. Everytime I leave feedback. I encourage everyone to do the same

I am going to try again.

I am going to try again. The new time is 9:30 AM Central Daylight Time. I was attempting to log in through BH online which works well for scheduling, but it did not work for opening yesterday. Andrew suggested using the confirmation given in the email. I will use that today. Please join me using the following link:

Hello Hangouts developers.

It seems a Hangouts update is propagating, which removes the overlay feature and is breaking all applications which are using it, as Google Effects, Business Hangouts, Hangouts Toolbar...

This is happening to more and more Google users. I think we have an emergency situation here.

Does anybody know what's going on?

Gus Class is Google aware of that? Is there a fix or a workaround?

New My Account Feature


New My Account Feature

Originally shared by Amber Yust

We just recently rolled out a new section of My Account - a list of the accounts you've blocked.

No more jumping through hoops to find someone if you need to unblock them, or to check if you already have someone blocked. Just visit https://myaccount.google.com and click on "Your personal info" -> "Blocked users" to open the list.

Want to unblock someone? Find them in the list and click the 'X' next to their name.

Note that you can't create blocks from My Account. New blocks are created in the products where you interact with people. This helps avoid blocking the wrong account: as it turns out there are a lot of people with similar names out there. We put the 'create block' option in places like G+ post menus or Hangouts conversation options so you know exactly who you'll be blocking.

I just couldn't get it to work properly and look good but it's easy.
Now that I know how, thought I'd share with the community. If you don't have a G+ Page (Google My Business Listing) stop reading/watching now. :D
