5 Reasons Google Hangouts Are Cooler Than Skype For Video Chats

Hangouts is Google’s take on chat rooms. Like many times before, Google has turned a good idea into something incredibly useful, while preserving simplicity and
ease of use and thus making it fantastic.
In a previous article, I explained How To Use
Google+ Hangouts To Meet With Friends
. In this article I will focus on what it is that
makes Hangouts so great and definitely cooler
than Skype.
1. Free Video Chat With Up To 10
Participants

intuitive interface than Skype! Once you are in
a Hangout that is. While figuring out how to

Google Hangouts. In Skype, you must be in a
video call to be able to share your screen.

Screenshare button, which opens a window
showing all windows you can share. You select
what you want to share and click Share
selected window button. Now try to do this in
Skype. While technically, Skype can do the same
things with only subtle differences, the key is
that Google managed to design a
straightforward and intuitive process.
The same case can be made for inviting people
to the conversation or other
