Google created a collaborative communication platform called Hangout that integrates messaging, voice call, and video messaging. With hangout, you are able to be in a chat, video call, or messaging conversation regardless of where you are. You can also use it from any device such as a smartphone, computer, laptop or tablet. Hangout is used for many different reasons, whether it be for businesses purposes or just to connect with friends and family, it is open to anyone with a google account.
Hangout has many collaborative features to it. Not only does it integrate audio and video, but it also integrates other google features. For example, you can be in a hangout while collaboratively working on a google doc, or a google spreadsheet. By using different text colors, you can see which person you are in a “hangout” with. This long form collaboration tool is very useful.
With hangout, you are about to collaborative effectively by working with others and even sharing screens with them. This allows communication to expand and let other people that you are working with collaborate and see exactly what you are working with. The open invitation feature that Hangout has allows you to invite other people to join your hangout. This even extends the invitation to those you may not have access to your Hangout sheet.
The numerous collaborative features of Google Hangout allows for it to be accessed almost anywhere with computer access, or phone access. The collaboration method makes it so that coworkers can complete things together if necessary without having to send things multiple times, but instead be able to work on the same document or spreadsheet at the same exact time, while on a voice call or video call or messaging.
