On Monday, Google finally launched a dedicated webpage for Hangouts. When used on the web, Hangouts was formerly restricted to a small section of other Google services.
Google's messaging service works on a variety of devices, making it seamless to transfer conversations between phones, tablets, smartwatches, and the web. The dedicated webpage for Hangouts gives the service a complete set of accessible tools rather than packing them into a little popup conversation. Heading to hangouts.google.com shows a clean user interface with a toolbar, conversation list, and primary buttons to work with. The toolbar offers access to contacts, messages, calls, and settings. The background of the dedicated page changes upon being refreshed to different pictures that were shared on Google+.
What was once a small section renting space elsewhere now has a home of its own.
Do you plan on using Hangouts on the web in this way? Or does Gmail get the job done?
