Hosting a Google Hangout on Air is a great way to have a live interview, host a webinar, or host a discussion. We’ve been hosting a weekly coaching session for our clients. This guide will show you how to invite people to your hangout and how to join the hangout.
You can watch a Hangout in one of two ways, as a Viewer or Participate. Viewing the Hangout means you can watch the hangout but not participate in the live chat. Viewing the Hangout may be fine if you want to primarily watch and submit questions. Your answers will be address in the order which they are received but you will be unable to have a dialog. For that, you need to Join the Hangout. Both methods of joining have instructions that follow.
All members of the Hunch Presence Community will receive an invitation to join the hangout in email and in their Google+ notifications. Additionally, if you RSVP yes or request to participate in the hangout you will get a different invitation to join the live broadcast.
