OIT will roll out Hangouts Meet, Google’s new tool for video conferencing, to campus G Suite users on Monday, May 21.

While Hangouts Meet replaces the classic Google Hangouts, you’ll still find some familiar as well as new features, including:

• a streamlined approach to connect up to 25 people on campus or around the globe.
• Internal chat.
• Screen sharing.
• Meeting scheduling via Google Calendar, mobile devices, Hangouts Hardware/Chrome devices for meetings, the meeting URL, or the web at meet.google.com.

Hangouts Meet also supports:

• the Chrome browser. Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer are expected to be supported in the second half of 2018.
• new dial-in and dial-out functionality.
