Recommendations for the best Google Hangout experience
To provide the most stable platform for your Hangout, we recommend that you install and use Google Chrome.
Conduct a speed test before the Hangout. Visit speedtest.net and press "Begin Test" to conduct a speed test on your system. Google suggests 1 mbps/2 mbps (upload/download speed). If your connection won’t support a Google Hangout, you may watch our Hangout on YouTube. Additional help videos are here.
Headphones and a strong connection speed are recommended for a better experience. We will also stream the event through our YouTube channel, which you can watch if you would prefer not to participate online.
