>Hangouts on Desktop though is horrible
Can you please elaborate on why you think so? I feel the exact opposite I guess. Maybe it is because it was horrible before and I', using a newer version?
It is one of the most unobtrusive and great apps I've used. It sits in the corner of my screen[0] and I have no problems at all even when I'm chatting (texting too! Google Voice!) with someone[1].

- jstandard 10y agoI use hangouts on a daily basis for our remote team and also found the desktop app to be terrible to the point of avoidance when doing video calls. Many times at least one person invited via desktop app doesn't receive the invite, but do receive if we send via gmail. Confusing UI, lack of error messages, and several major UI bugs (press button, nothing happens) have been cause for hours of accumulated wasted time. I'm glad you'be had a better experience. It's been very unreliable for us.
- ktta 10y agoOh. I guess I don't experience those a lot because I use it for texting and the occasional phone call, but do see some problems which I ignore because they're rare in my use case.
