Google+ Hangouts Receives Google Docs Support, Adds a Level of Professionalism
We’ve watched Google+ from its inception, and have witnessed its gradual evolution into a multi-faceted social networking site. Undeniably the “hangouts” feature being one of its best attributes. Originally hangouts began as a place to video chat with a few of your pals. Google then added the ability to share and watch Youtube videos together, and now they’ve added a more professional feature by adding Google Docs support.
With the Google Docs integration users can now video chat with co-workers and simultaneously work on the same document. Google also points out that users can use this feature to work on trip planning, lecture notes, or even doodling.
To try out the new feature, just click on the new “Docs” button inside your hangout:
- you can add an existing document, or upload a new one
- added documents are available as a list on the left-hand side
- you can switch between and collaboratively edit multiple documents at once
Anyone using Google+ excited about getting Google Docs support?
