I have spent several hours searching and reading regarding Google
Hangouts.  It appears that Google is taking the system proprietary next
month, moving away from XMPP, and making it difficult or impossible to go
"off-record".  So Google Hangouts now is about as appealing to me as is
Skype under the management of micro$oft.

There appears a reasonable alternative to Hangouts, which is open-source
and is being developed for the university environment -- Big Blue Button. 
I think this should be investigated.
