Google Hangouts is text messaging, audio calls, and video calls all from your FISD Google account! Just open up a tab in your Chrome browser navigate to Hangouts.Google.com or download the extension from the Chrome web store. Check out some cool features of Google Hangouts and get started with the Challenges below!
You can keep Google Hangouts up on your Chrome browser all day and communicate with people on your team, in your department, on campus, and district wide!
There's an app for that! You can get the Hangouts app for your phone and respond on the go on campus. Hangouts is not blocked on Wi-fi either.
You can make quick audio and video calls on Hangouts. You can make these calls from the app on your phone or from a Chromebook.
(Not from your PC as you must have a webcam.)
You can share an image with your hangouts. Press your Print Screen button and Ctrl+V to paste the image in a Hangout text message. (The Snipping Tool can also be handy! Snag the picture, hit the copy button, and Ctrl+V in the text message.)
