There's a 90 minute check-in to make sure you're still there, BUT there no sound effect, so unless you are staring at the hangout window, you get no warning before the call dies!

Could we ideally have a way to remove this 90 minute time out? Surely it could be made so that if there is any talking going on, it stays open, and only closes if there is silence on both ends for a long time?

OR 

In the very least have it pop up a warning sound say 5 mins before its about to close the call, so, for example, if you are using Google+ to chat to people whilst playing a game in another window, you HEAR when its getting close so you know to ALT TAB to hangout and click "Im still here", rather than the current system where the first thing you know about it is when the call ends and you have to start mucking about re-inviting, which is a huge pain if you doing real time action in another window.

Thanks
