With the incorporation of Hangouts on
Air, users can now broadcast their videos to a larger web audience in an
On Air format. Earlier, Google+ users could conduct a video chat with a small circle of people.
To start a Hangout on Air broadcast,
users need to begin with a normal Hangout and then choose the option to
record the broadcast. Up to nine other can join in the broadcast. During
the broadcast, users can look inside the Hangout to see how many people
are watching live. Once finished, Google will automatically put up the
recorded video on user's YouTube channel, along with adding a YouTube
link to the Google Hangout post on Google+.
“Today we're excited to launch Hangouts
On Air to Google+ users worldwide. So if you have something to say—as an
aspiring artist, a global celebrity, or a concerned citizen—you can now
go live in front of a global audience,” Google said in a blog post.
The Hangouts on Air is currently
available for desktop users only, though Hangouts are available on
mobile platforms such as Android and iOS. It's notable users cannot use
experimental additions such as "Hangouts with extras," including
screensharing and a "sketchpad" app, with Hangout on Air.
