There's also https://hangouts.google.com/ https://hangouts.google.com/
- GFischer 10y agoDidn't know about that ! Interesting.
- TuringNYC 10y agoYes, good point -- forgot to mention that. That is a 3rd widely-available option across all three silos (Android/iOS/Desktop).
- kbenson 10y agoYet apparently not business accounts. You can use the integrated hangouts in gmail, and the phone apps, but hangouts.google.com says it's not an enabled app for your account, and I can't seem to find where it's available to enable/add in the admin console (that is, I can find where to enable and add apps, but it isn't listed, and I'm a super admin). The Apps marketplace has third party apps, but that's not what I'm looking for.
- lwf 10y agoI'm able to use hangouts.google.com in both my personal Google Apps domain and my work's Google Apps domain. Almost certainly a setting buried somewhere deep in the Admin Console. :(
- kbenson 10y agoThanks for the heads up. Not that I know it's at least possible, I'll spend some time and did a little deeper. I'm interested in seeing how it compares to Slack (basically, how well it uses the defined groups and membership in them that are already configured).
- SysArchitect 10y agoNon-existent... at least in my experience with my Google Apps account.
- fharper1961 10y agohangouts.google.com is enabled on my business account. I didn't enable it, so I can't tell you how it was done. Only that it's possible.
- TheBeardKing 10y agoThe hangouts chrome extension is even handier while keeping your browser minimized.
