Google+ hangout now works similar to any other remote desktop app like teamviewer. hangout already had desktop screen sharing feature. Google+ hangout is a nice feature of Google+ and Google has already replaced Gmail video chat with Hangout.
“For those of you who play tech support for friends and family, there’s now a Hangouts app to make things easier — powered by the same technology behind Chrome Remote Desktop,” said Daniel Caiafa, “Hangouts Remote Desktop lets you help others by controlling their computer remotely (with their permission, of course). And because you’re both in a Hangout, you can talk with and see each other during the session.”
