| Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Paul Benedict | 5/18/12 1:17 PM | Hi, Google retired named hangouts, which (I think) means that each time a team wants to use Google Hangouts to have a meeting, they need to invite each other to the same hangout. Which would be very bad :( Does anyone have a work around or a solutio |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | ミ★ღ ραυℓ ღ★彡 | 5/19/12 1:40 AM | To name your hangout simply: - Visit http://plus.google.com/hangouts. - Click Start a hangout. - Enter a name in the "Name this hangout" field. Note:- The hangout name that’s chosen when the hangout is first created is what will appear on the hangout post |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Gary Poster | 5/22/12 7:48 AM | The named hangouts do not support permanent URLs any more, it seems, which is the point of the original poster. That's also something I'm interested in. Invitations are slow and flaky IME, and a known URL to always go to for a meeting is very valua |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Paul Benedict | 5/22/12 5:35 PM | Yes - exactly. The permanent URL is the feature needed, not the actual naming of the space. Google hangouts was pretty much one click to meet once each participant had a Google + profile. In the new system, with the invitation model, it's many, ma |

| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Yoshi | 5/23/12 7:23 PM | This is also a very important feature for us. |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | kirkland | 5/24/12 8:26 AM | This is breaking us too. We had a few standing weekly meetings or daily scrums, where having a pre-shared, static URL link was really useful to getting everyone in the same room at the same time, very, very quickly. It's a real shame that we've los |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | nikDOTca | 5/24/12 11:11 AM | Plus one for bringing back our ability to create a permeant URLs to a hangout that we can distribute via email or attach to a short URL. Thanks team, Nik |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | DaveMess | 5/24/12 1:25 PM | I agree named hangouts would be best! |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | aea | 6/4/12 8:02 AM | same here. i have been looking for a way to fix the urls but it seems that this isnt possible. the urls are generated anew each time. very very very bad update :-( hangouts used to be the best part. |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Paul Benedict | 6/4/12 10:27 AM | Hi, Just an update to this one. I started a hangout and grabbed the URL shortcode to join the hangout, sent an email inviting people to the hangout, then about two hours later as the meeting was starting, the url join code had actually changed. So |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Chris | 6/18/12 12:20 PM | I noticed you can copy the URL of the hangout in the address bar and access that same URL later. Does anyone know if this URL is permanent, or if it will no longer be valid after a while? Thanks!Chris |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Molendinarius | 8/2/12 3:30 AM | I agree - a fixed url for a hangout would be really useful. I have a website with an old hangout type piece of code running from AOL, which only allows three people in the conversation. I run a specialist social network - having a permanent hangout f |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Brett Humphreys | 8/26/12 2:01 PM | A google event will do this. Create an event for sometime in the future (or when you want to meet) Then select Event options > Advanced > Google+ Hangout. This will create a hangout link for you. Not as readable as you might like but it will at |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Dori, Google Community Manager | 8/27/12 11:38 AM | @Brett is correct. Unless you use a Google+ Event, there isn't currently an option to create a static hangout URL. To create a lasting link, go to https://plus.google.com/events and look down at Schedule your next hangout. The Hangout link in the cr |

| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | gwhenning | 8/28/12 8:37 AM | +Paul Benedict - The hangouts use the google chat function to send out invites. You can send invites to people not in your apps domain, but you must first invite them to chat via google chat. (Same goes for people in your domain) It took us a while t |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | MarkSpencerZ | 12/11/12 2:00 AM | @Dori, thanks very useful. I created an event like this, inviting someone during event creation. I'd kind of expected the URL I grabbed to fire up the hangout and then automatically invite the person I'd 'pre-invited' into the event. Is this right? |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | PC | 1/27/13 4:50 PM | I have same usecase which I want to schedule the hangout by 3rd website with pre-generated hangout URL and send to confirmed participant, just like GoToMeeting. Hangout features is cool and we want more user friendly to adopt in daily life. thank you |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Chip Benedum | 2/12/13 10:08 AM | We use Gmail as our main system and you can just add a Google+ Hangout meeting to the invite and everyone can join the meeting at that time. |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Lucas Renzi | 3/22/13 3:05 AM | would a 24-hours (all-day) recurring-daily event with a google hangout link, create a permanent hangout URL? |
| Re: Named Hangouts - How Do I Create a Permanent URL | Lucas Renzi | 4/26/13 1:33 AM | the answer is yes! I created an all-day event that repeats daily, forever and I can log in with the same URL link I sent to my friend a month ago perfectly. It doesn't matter if no one is in the room for an extended period (2 weeks). I don't see any |
