Google+ has rolled out a new feature that allow users to make free calls with hangout. Now, you do not need to have a Google account or a computer to join hangout conversation. A Hangout group can now call in anyone with a phone to listen in.
Google’s Jarkko Oikarinen has announced this via Google+ page. He announced,”We are constantly listening to feedback so that we can make Hangouts even better for Google+ users, and we’re excited by the really cool ways people are using the product. Today we’re making it possible to make phone calls from inside a hangout, so you can dial people into the room from wherever they’re at.”
Adding a call to a Hangout room is easy. First, click “Invite” at the top of the Hangouts with Extras window, and then select the “Phone” tab on the left of the window. After entering the phone number you want to call, choose “Call now.”
This feature is only available in US and canada from Hangouts with Extras page.
