In this way, it now competes directly with other services that offer this same function, such as Whatsapp or Messenger, both owned by Facebook.
In the messaging market, if you lose your step, it is very difficult to recover it, which is why all the companies that fight to gain active users are always launching new features and paying attention to what the competition is doing. An example of what we are saying is Google, which has just launched a website where it is possible to use its Hangouts development.
With this arrival it matches what other applications such as WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger offer, but the truth is that the simplicity offered by the new option from the Mountain View company is great. For example, it is not necessary to synchronize the mobile terminal with the website using a QR code, since this is done using the user's Gmail account, so it is possible to use the new service even when the phone or tablet is turned off.
In addition, compatibility with different browsers is very broad from the start. So much so that it is possible to use Hangouts for the web in Chrome, Firefox and Explorer, the big three at the moment. In this way, we want to cover the greatest number of users so that they can use the tool that synchronizes with conversations on other devices without problems.
Use of the page
The truth is that the structure is what can be expected in this type of service. On the left side there is a list of the latest conversations that have taken place and which can be resumed by clicking on them. In addition, there are some small accesses that make it possible to make a voice call and, also, pressing the icon with three horizontal lines opens the menu in which you can find everything from Settings to all the options offered by Hangouts.
The central part is very clean, with three large buttons that allow you to use the basic Hangouts options by pressing them (video calls included). Additionally, this is where the active conversation screens appear, which are displayed starting from the bottom. Finally, in the upper right part you can see the user's data and also access the rest of the tools that Google offers on the web.
In short, an interesting new service that offers intuitive and simple use, so using Hangouts in its web version is something very positive and significantly increases its usefulness, since you can even share images in the conversations that are open.
