Google+ Hangout

I work here so I am kind of bias, but this would be a great way to have live shows?

You do need a Google+ account (which is awesome )

Is it anything like skype? I know skype seems popular, i have never used it though...

[Adrenalinrush]

I haven't actually used hangout, but an internal program that is very similar. Skype is for one on one, where Hangout is for one on one (or more). I used skype while I was deployed quite a bit to call home cause it was cheap. I video chatted a little, but it was pretty bad considering the connection speed there.

I can try hangout at work tomorrow and see if it is viable, I don't see why not though, you can share your screen on your PC, so just make the video full screen and share (w/o control though lol)

Does google + cost $? I switched to Google chroome and gmail a few months back and can say life is a little better for me

Nothing @ Google cost anything to the consumer

The advertisers pay out the butt though. Well actually not that bad, theres just billions of clicks a day and they make a penny per

I don't know if it would work, but I have seen a couple of live shows and I think Video/Voice chat would be a better option

The problem with Google stuff is that your data belong to them and they harvest it. That's how they actually gain money.
Otherwise their product are pretty good and free as in free beer.

?

Google makes money on adds. They "harvest" your information to see what adds to show you. Have you noticed that if you type in FPV in google, you get an add for FPV on the right side (probably hobbywireless). And if you have gmail, that it scans your email (Nobody is actually looking at your email is just an computer, and if anyone did such as myself, I would be immediately terminated) and posts adds that are relevant to your email. Thats how they "harvest".

I don't suppose you upload videos to Youtube? You understand that Youtube is owned by Google, whats the difference. I also HIGHLY doubt they record your Video Conferencing, so your not actually uploading anything, you are just streaming it. (Confidentiality and all).

yet another social network... hope it does a bit better than Google Wave . To be honest... I like to stick to only one per day... that means, when I hang out on FPV Lab, Facebook is left aside... and so on... a chat with streaming cams in HERE would be the best, IMO... we will get there!!

Social networks will rule the world, they are the new god and government - together.

LoL,

I had a Facebook account, I never ever checked it, finnally just perma deleted it. I am required (sort of) to have a Google+ account, I don't actually post to that either. I didn't mean to use it for the social side, mostly for the Video Conferencing side.

You would be SOL anyway Roberto, w/ your connection speed : /
