hi donna; i forgot the best part. when i was doing regular hangouts you had to get a new url every time. they now give each account its own hangout url so once you give it out you don't have to give out a new site address out every time. let me know when you try your first one. you are welcome to invite me to a try out hangout. just add me on g plus first. oh that is the one big draw back you can only hangout with other g plus members. wishing you all the best with the new job, max On Dec 18, 2014, at 8:00 PM, Donna Goodin wrote:
