I use Google Hangouts Chat primarily when "visiting" school groups to talk about careers in the performing arts and for audio-visual companies. Because many schools use Chromebooks, sticking with the Google family of products makes it easy for teachers, parents, and school administrators to use the product both inside and outside the school walls.
I also occasionally use it to meet clients.
- Security for kids in school
- Easy to load
- Intuitive usage, which makes is more user friendly than things like GoToMeeting
- I'm not convinced about the security
- Often "laggy"
- Audio isn't consistently good--better with headset mic

At Fingent, we use Hangouts Chat for all the internal communication, standups, meetings and chat. It does the job perfectly well. we recently switched to Google Hangouts Chat from Hangouts. Hangouts was actually buggy and had frequent crashes but the new chat is stable. Most of the time I use Google Hangouts Chat on my iPhone.
- Audio calls
- Chat
- Rooms
- Video call
- Meetings
- When I use the iPhone app, my phone gets overheated
- Performance optimization
- Bring some fun AR filters to video calls
We use Google Hangouts company-wide. It is perfect for our mobile environment and the need for quick responses in urgent situations. Our technologists and marketing team in the field are able to easily reach out to our corporate office for quick questions and save everyone a phone call. It is also very helpful to our dispatch/customer service team to communicate efficiently when some of the team is in-office, while others work from home.
- It is user-friendly.
- Helps encourage multi-tasking in a fast-pace environment.
- Is easily accessible from Gmail or my desktop.
- Reminder notifications would be very helpful to ensure nothing is missed.
- Some sort of alert or chime to get another user's attention.
- Enables/encourages an increase in workplace gossip.
