Description of Hangouts for macOS

Hangouts for macOS is a desktop messaging service — a component of the overall communication platform from Google enterprise. Hangouts lets you communicate via interactive text chatting, audio/video calls, SMS delivery and recording of voice messages right from your stationary Mac, MacBook, PC or mobile device (smartphone or tablet). The tool is compatible with all modern platforms and environments. So, you can have a talk with a person who currently uses Windows, macOS, Android or iOS device. The rest of the fan base community can access the service from the web client without installing the app on their gadget.

Similarly to Windows, you can’t download Google Hangouts on your Mac desktop device. Instead, you are suggested to install a discrete plugin, or extension, on your Chrome and after that gain access to all app abilities right from the web-browser.

As we specified beforehand, the package is shared in the shape of Chrome extension, which you can download and install specifically from the official site. The same workflow concerns the Mac and MacBook devices. You set up the Hangouts tool just like any other Chrome add-on.
