We received a lot of questions about the announcement Google made a few weeks ago. Some media and news sites are exaggerating that Google is killing HOA or ditching the service. Unfortunately, some people interpret that in the wrong way.<\/p>\n

First of all, Google is not “killing” Hangouts on Air. It’s deprecating its Google+ platform which isn’t that popular as they hoped it would be. Google Hangouts on Air is a part of that Google+ platform, but the HOA service will continue. On September 12th, it won’t be possible anymore to use HOA from Google+. \u00a0BUT, the Hangouts On Air service will be exclusively available from ‘Youtube Live<\/a>‘ on the Youtube site (which it was already for a long time). So it will still be available, but it won’t be available anymore from Google+ (which I think is a good thing). For you that don’t know: Google is the owner of Youtube, and ‘Youtube Live’ gives you more options to configure your stream.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"webinar<\/p>\n

This adjustments won’t have any impact on our plugin, only the way you start your webinar (when using HOA) is from a different site now. However, if you do have an event planned with Hangouts on Air, and you already scheduled it on Google+, then please move this over and schedule it on the Youtube site. After the 12th of September you won’t be able to use HOA from the Google+ site anymore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our documentation page about HOA<\/a> is adjusted for the changes, and I would advise you to take a look at it before your next live webinar.<\/p>\n

Please let us know if you have any other concerns or questions. Glad to give you answers!<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
