Google Hangouts Chrome Extension
Google's platform for instant messaging and videoconferencing, Hangouts, is an instant messaging and videoconferencing service accessible through Google+, Gmail, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. The Chrome extension allows chatting with contacts directly from the Windows desktop.
Hangouts offers all the conventional features of a good messaging service, enabling users to send messages, images, and emojis in one-on-one or group conversations. The videoconferencing feature supports video calls with up to 10 people simultaneously, integrating apps like YouTube and Google Drive for added functionality.
The extension provides an unobtrusive and minimalist interface, focusing on essential chatting features. It offers easy communication with friends and cool video calling features, although basic audio calls are not supported, and Chrome must always remain open to use Hangouts.
