Google + hangouts and Youtube working together

July 31st, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

It looks to me that Google is adding yet another thing for Google+ plus members, by integrating live streaming of your hangouts through YouTube. It is no surprise to me that Google is doing this, they have been trying to spice Youtube up for sometime since they acquired it. In past blogs we spoke about how they are looking to make Youtube channels to get more money through advertisements and such and now they are trying to add to the count of people who use the site with this Google+ hangout integration.

Hangouts has been joined at the hip with YouTube ever since the chat platform launched as part of Google+ at the end of June. Hangouts users can launch YouTube videos right from within the group video chat, and up to ten participants can watch the same video simultaneously.
