Group conversations are better than ever

Send photos or emoji, see when people are engaged in the Hangout and message friends anytime, even if they’re not connected right now.

Video calls make Hangouts more fun

Turn any conversation into a video call with up to 10 friends. Then add apps and effects to put a smile on your face.

All your friends can use Hangouts

Hangouts works on computers, Android and Apple devices, so you can connect with everyone, and no one gets left out.

Group conversations are better than ever

Share photos and emoji for more lively conversations

Whether you’re talking just with that special someone or figuring out Friday night plans with the whole gang, Hangouts are like real-life conversations. You can show photos and share how you’re feeling with emoji.

Google Play | iTunes App Store | For your computer

Have more engaging conversations

See when your friends have read your messages and when they’re typing back. If a friend isn’t available when you try to reach them, they’ll see an alert next time they connect, keeping your conversations alive.

Easily go back to any of your Hangouts

Finding your ongoing conversations across devices and picking them back up is simple. And you can scroll back through past Hangouts to re-live what you talked about — from those epic trip photos to that nice note from a friend when you were home sick.

Ring your friends’ phones

Friends will receive your video call invitations no matter what device they’re using at the moment. If they’re not at their computer, their phone will ring so it’s easy for them to join. You can even add more people to ongoing video calls right from a mobile device.

Add apps and effects to put a smile on your face

Make video calls from your computer more memorable and entertaining by adding fun visual and sound effects. And video call apps let you watch YouTube videos together, capture a special family moment with a photo, collaborate remotely through Google Drive and much more.
