FREE GOOGLE Hangouts DOWNLOAD
Google recently announced that its Google Hangouts service is shutting down for G Suite customers in June 2020. It will be replaced by Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. … But for G Suite users, Chat will start being available on web and mobile in April (though Hangouts will still remain available) (mashable.com)
Google’s plan is to migrate G Suite users from Hangouts Classic to two new apps: Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Chat. The former is for video conferencing and the latter is group chat. So far, the move to Chat and Meet has been optional, but Google intended to close the old Hangouts for G Suite users in October 2019. Google says it’s heard a lot of feedback from customers that they wanted more time, so it now says the transition won’t happen until June 2020 at the earliest. Hangouts will continue getting maintenance updates until then, but it won’t get any new features. (extremetech.com)
New Releases by Google
Google today quietly revealed that it will shut down the Hangouts API, preventing new apps from being built and shutting off existing apps on April 25th. … But as Google pushes Duo as its consumer video chat app and relegates Hangouts to the enterprise, it’s dropping the flexibility to build these kinds of experiences.
