But it's basically writing on the wall that they are probably going to kill them off soon. You haven't been able to make new Hangout apps from the developer console for months now.<br /><br />Also Roll20 uses WebRTC and it has improved vastly since its first implementation. I still prefer Hangouts myself for the ease of use of inviting people, tying it to events, etc. but the internal video/chat is still pretty functional.Joshuha Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606562177765860993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-63654702924390003712015-11-12T08:21:10.071-05:002015-11-12T08:21:10.071-05:00BTW, does anyone have a screenshot of the new Hang...BTW, does anyone have a screenshot of the new Hangouts?Tenkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159289652051155824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-28381710256709194092015-11-12T08:20:34.745-05:002015-11-12T08:20:34.745-05:00you do realize that most of us, no matter what lin...you do realize that most of us, no matter what link we use, do not have access to the new version of hangouts:<br /><br />"We’ll be rolling out to a small group of users starting today and expanding globally in the days ahead.
