The service video conversations Google Talk integrated with Gmail, launched in 2008, resisted Hangout Google +, created last year, but the transition will not escape. The main reason of change is the feature of Hangout that enables the conversation with up nine friends simultaneously.
The company says the change will be beneficial to users, since the Hangout you can start a video chat with anyone anywhere, whether in a window of Gmail, Google + or a device with Android or iOS.
Besides the opportunity to chat with friends on different devices, users of Gmail will also gain the unique features of the Hangout, like the ability to collaborate on a document from the Docs, watch a YouTube video in a group or screen sharing.
