There is also a Chrome extension for hangouts, and it can even run when Chrome isn't visible (authored by Google). Perhaps most useful is the "transparent ui" mode, where you have floating heads - see the second screenshot at http://www.omgchrome.com/google-hangouts-chrome-app-update/ http://www.omgchrome.com/google-hangouts-chrome-app-update/ - although for a change that is available on Windows and Linux, but not Mac! (The page also has a link to the Chrome extension.)
- rrdharan 10y agoYou mean there's a Chrome App in addition to the Chrome Extension. The problem with the Chrome App is that you still need to have Chrome running which on OS X means the Chrome dock icon, and any other downsides of having a running Chrome process (e.g. battery life impact).
