- myko 14y agoYeah I remember hanging out on my Xoom with an iPhone wielding friend to watch football together last year while we were in different states. Didn't realize the functionality had been dropped - good reason to not update if that was the case, Hangouts are Google+'s most compelling feature IMO.
- pohl 14y agoI have personally been doing weekly hangouts on my iPhone for several consecutive months. This included, by the way, using that feature on an iPad 2 and using AirPlay mirroring to throw it up on an AppleTV. The thing that actually changed is that Google+ is now a real universal app with an iPad-specific UI. The headline is misleading.
- mistermann 14y agoSorry for a dumb question, in the article we see one large main picture and several smaller ones at the bottom. Are all of those moving video, or just the large main one? And, if all video, is it possible to split 2 windows into equal size, side by side?
- pohl 14y agoYes. All are moving video. No, there is not a way to configure a side-by-side split. The system does a pretty good job of detecting who is speaking at any given moment and switching the large view to contain their video.
- mikeevans 14y agoI thought you couldn't create them on iOS until this update? I could be wrong, I don't think I ever tried to create a hangout from my phone before.
- pohl 14y agoThat could be. In my case, I was always responding to an invitation but never creating one.
