We schedule a hangout and send out invitations. We start a hangout and hope people show up (either in the room or watching online during the event OR after the fact watching on YouTube). We prepare (yes we do prepare and it takes time) and it goes beautifully one time only to be glitchy the next. But that is the nature of this beast and we do the best we can. <br /><br />Kudos to you and all the others who have embraced this online broadcast studio. We all need to take the time to learn how to use this technology - the presenter, the recorder/tech person, the viewers, and the attendees (and there are many helpful tutorials or posts about it). If everyone does their part, our hangouts will continue to improve and prosper. If some complain and make no effort to learn the system - my only suggestion is to give it a go yourself (host a hangout) so you will see just what an effort is being made on your behalf.<br /><br />For my part, even with glitches I find I learn something at the various hangouts I attend and I am grateful that Google+ has made this broadcast ability available to us to get together from all over the world. Keep it up Jill and thanks!Tessa Keoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146870113899850353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776281256905648887.post-90256215430529031822015-03-06T12:37:44.293+11:002015-03-06T12:37:44.293+11:00Jill I enjoyed this hangout, despite the technical...Jill I enjoyed this hangout, despite the technical issues. Good to hear what options other people do with their research. We need to be flexible as we are dealing with digital as well as physical information whilst keeping abreast of technology. I picked up a few tips. Sorry for being thick but tell me where are the comments people were making during the hangout? You mentioned on the Geniaus community...?

I didn't even have time to send out lots of imvitations on my second attempt - it takes a while to do this. <br /><br />If you are signed into Google you would normally get a notification in the bell icon at the top right hand corner of your browser. Clicking the link there will take you into the hangout. <br /><br />I'll find a link on How to join a Hangout and post it in the GeniAus Community.

As a newbie to Hangouts, I didn't realise I had to collect my email to get the link for the second attempt.<br />John SparrowJohn Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982396423751118567noreply@blogger.com
