No keyboard & mouse sharing. And to a lesser extent, not everyone wants a Google account.
My employer also blocks some Google services. For example, I can't access Gmail. Trying to use Hangouts without Gmail is swimming upstream a bit.
- killerdhmo 9y agoHave you tried hangouts.google.com? It's possibly still blocked, depending on your employer, but if not, it's just a hangouts webUI that also allows calls.
- amorphid 9y agoHangouts actually works at the moment, but work could change that at anytime, so making it a key piece of my workflow is unwise. I get your point though. Gotta love life behind the firewall!
- hobarrera 9y ago> Trying to use Hangouts without Gmail How are these two related (usage-wise, I mean)? Also, is your employer paying a Google Apps subscription, but blocking email? WTF.
- amorphid 9y agoEmployer blocks Gmail (and other sites) via the corporate firewall. They are not paying for Google Apps (at least not for me). Get a job at any large enterprise and you'll experience some restrictions you wouldn't find at a smaller company.
- hobarrera 9y agoOh, I assumed your employer was using Google Apps. If that's not the case, why do you need Hangouts? Don't they use something else for voice+video?
