| privacy on on air hangouts | Joe Schmidt | 5/17/12 11:09 AM | It is my understanding that all HOA's are public while the broadcast is active. Once you close the on air hangout you can go to YouTube and change the privacy settings. I hope there is an enhancement on the way that will allow one to limit who sees |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | Rick Plavnicky | 6/13/12 8:04 AM | Just wanted to weigh in on this, and thank Joe for bringing this up. It'd be great to be able to use this feature to record a private hangout into YouTube, for the benefit of those people that could not attend live. For example, I'm using HOA for a p |

| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | PRN.fm | 6/13/12 12:50 PM | Would absolutely LOVE this feature to be able to socially promote the HoA, with PayWithATweet or something similar. So that the link would be available for free in exchange for a social media post about it. Thanks for considering it! |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | richfoto | 6/14/12 4:38 PM | Hi, this is definitely a must have. There surely must be options to add privacy settings to the hangout, so only certain circles can view without it being public, 'plus' the option that the hangout is posted to the G+ feed 'only' if it is shared the |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | ayaffe | 6/15/12 12:11 PM | @Sonia -- there's also a business use-case here. Hangouts are a very good way to do screencasts from a Chromebook for training or demo purposes. What I would like to is create a "private" HOA, go through my training session or demo, then edit the vid |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | Ryan | 6/21/12 1:20 PM | I couldn't agree more. With all the talk of Social Business, Google+ could become a killer social business app if those using Google Apps could create collaborative knowledge round table "town meetings" with HOA that would not be fully public but all |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | 8gent Scully | 6/21/12 4:49 PM | Hi Sonia from Google, This is good to hear -- HOA would be much better for enterprise use if you could limit the public broadcast. Just today at my organization, we were testing using HOA for a large staff meeting next week -- 500+ people. Because th |

| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | NappyGeek | 8/31/12 6:41 AM | My professor has me investigating this HUGE security concern with HOA. I'm certain Google CAN and WILL figure this out. It is imperative for grabbing market share from the likes of WebEx and others. On a personal level, if I can figure this out for m |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | Joe Schmidt | 8/31/12 7:26 AM | The best I can tell nothing has changed. There is still no option to make the HOA private. You can secure the YouTube after the HOA but not during the actual HOA. I can see HOA being used for lots of things where the participants want to limit th |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | Dori, Google Community Manager | 8/31/12 10:38 AM | @NappyGeek, Google Apps users can utilize HOAs as long as the administrator hasn't restricted it in the control panel. At this time however, there is no way to keep HOAs restricted to just other Apps users in your organization - they will be publicly |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | Joe Schmidt | 8/31/12 11:27 AM | Dori, I thought that the HOA were available via the search #hangoutsonair in G+. Since they are public they should show up in the search. I got in big trouble for using a HOA to connect my daughter to my granddaughter. Several people found the HOA |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | PeggyK | 9/1/12 12:50 PM | That sounds like it would be much better to use a regular hangout in that situation, since those are private. As I understand it, the whole point of a Hangout on Air is to live-broadcast the hangout, while regular Hangouts are private. If you want t |
| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | Joe Schmidt | 9/1/12 1:31 PM | Any suggestions as to which (free) program could be used to capture the hangout? Maybe Google needs something in a regular hangout to easily capture the hangout. I can see many uses for using a hangout to capture a meeting done via a Hangout for |

| Re: privacy on on air hangouts | Dori, Google Community Manager | 9/1/12 8:46 PM | Thanks for your input and suggestions here @PeggyK! @Joe, I think Peggy is right in that regular hangouts might serve your better. The feature request to be able to record regular hangouts is something the team is aware of and discussing, but thanks |
