For me the killer feature of hangout is that it's a "better Skype". With the exact same contact with whom I'd typically Skype back in the days, Google Hangout gives a better quality video/audio (which I take it is due to better/faster compression/decompression algorithms but I may be mistaken on that).
- svdad 13y agoNot my experience at all. Video quality as far as I can tell is equivalent, and the Skype UX is miles better. Full screen with the little self-view monitoring window at the bottom -- great experience. My parents-in-law still can't figure out how to get on their G+ account to use Hangouts, but for them Skype is second-nature. Open it, click on the contact, phone rings, presto, we're chatting.
