Hangouts is an official application for Android by Google. Users can make video calls and interact with each other online.
Video calls
It is a convenient app for video chats. Users can stay connected to people they love and make business meetings with coworkers. There is an option to create a conference room and invite people from contacts. To do so, it is necessary to enable access to a contact list.
The application allows you to plan meetings and notify other members ahead. On the main page, there is an icon that looks like a plus. After you click on it, you can start a new conversation with anyone from your contacts. The quality of the video during calls is quite high as this app just like Google Trips was developed by the same leading technology company.
Subtitles
One of key features in Hangouts is the option to display subtitles during video calls. You can see what other members are talking about without listening to them. The captions are quite accurate as the application properly analyzes speakers words.
To activate subtitles, you have to click on an icon that looks like cc. The captions will be displayed in real-time. Therefore, you need to read them as soon as they appear on the screen of your smartphone in order to engage in conversation. Nevertheless, there is an option to record video calls if you would like to save your meetings.
