Always-on group video chat arrives
(Read my column: https://goo.gl/4Dpwpc )
Five years ago, Google invented a new kind of group video chat called Hangouts and built it into Google+.
I wrote in this space about a new concept for group video chat, which I called "ambient Hangouts." The column hit just before Christmas, and I suggested ambient Hangouts as a way to bring far-flung families together for the holidays.
Even today, a few people still use Google Hangouts for always-live group video chat sessions.
Trouble is, with always-live video, the camera is on you all day, and that can be uncomfortable. Also, when a single user is the only Hangouts participant for a while, Google terminates the session.
These two innovative startups figured out all-day video chat sessions, without making it weird:
