Being aksed to tial Google Hangouts or “a different type of vido chat platform” immediately throws up the issue of having t choose a platform, when all you want ot do is chat to your mates or work colleagues.
The last thing I need is another option, having t currently check so many different social and work media sites on a daily (or more frequent) basis.
So rather than trial yet another new format, I’ll stick with Teams for work and WhattsApp for social group organising, with a wee bit of Facebook messenger thrown in for good measure.
Google hangouts actually does look good for social vc, but relies on eveyrone havign it an knowing how to use it.
I’ve seen lists of pros and ocns on line, but perhaps the most instant con is the name. Sounds trivial, but I don;t line in a US TV show, so don’t ‘hang-out’ with anyone. And if I did, it would be down the pub and not online.
