Messages and Google Hangouts on High Sierra I updated to High Sierra some time ago and noticed that I was no longer able to use Google Hangouts with the Messages app. Looked around online for a while and discovered that others had a similar issue and it was no longer supported. 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). Use Hangouts to keep in touch. Message contacts, start free video or voice calls, and hop on a conversation with one person or a group. Include all your contacts with group chats for up to 150 people. Say more with status messages, photos, videos, maps, emoji, stickers, and animated GIFs. Turn any conversation into a free group video call with up to 10 contacts. Nov 20, 2017  this worked for me other than i have to login again each time i come back from sleep or restart. Keychain is not remembering the password. In my situation, i have 2 factor auth on my google account and had to set up the 'app password' google account feature for less secure apps to get it to log in. The password i need to use for it to work is that key google generates during that process.

Description of Hangouts for macOS

Jan 30, 2018  I began to figure out what was going on and found out the following. Attempting to download macOS High Sierra from the Mac App Store I found that a small 19 MB version of the “Install macOS High Sierra.app” file downloads to the “Applications” folder, rather than the complete 5.2 GB installer file. That’s the problem. This message appears the first time that a 32-bit app is run under Mojave (macOS 10.14) to alert users that the app will not run under macOS versions 10.15 (Catalina) and beyond. Since 10.15 is likely to be released in September or October 2019, Google needs to have a 64-bit version of GoogleTalkPlugin.app.

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.

How to download and install Google Hangouts for macOS?

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.

Let’s figure out what exactly you are ought to do in order to install the plugin onto your Chrome browser:

  • Run the Chrome browser by selecting it from the Dock panel.
  • Go to the corresponding Chrome Extensions store page.
  • Check whether you are signed in to your Google account. If you are signed in, in the top-right corner you will see the active e-mail, which you are logged in. If you are signed out, click the “Sign in” button in the upper-right corner of the screen, choose your Google email and a password to connect.
  • When the authorization is completed, click the “Add to Chrome” button to install the Hangouts extension to your browser.
  • Before you download and install the extension to browser, the request form appears, where you need to approve your decision by clicking the “Add extension” button. After the confirmation is executed, the installation starts.
  • In a few seconds, when the add-on is properly ready for usage, you will see the following form. Press “Get started” button to get to work with Google Hangouts.

If you still don’t know what to do with the plugin (i.e., how to chat, call or exchange files), refer to the “How to use Google Hangouts on macOS” FAQ section, where you can find detailed guides about all of the essential in-app operations on Mac devices.

As we assume, now it becomes clear how to download and set up Hangouts on your Mac without excessive manipulations and efforts. Indeed, this platform from Google is powerful enough to fulfill all your expectations and intentions related to conversations and communication, both abroad and local.

If you've been battling to get the video for Google Hangouts to work on Safari I have a workaround for you...


Google hangouts app download
  1. Open Hangouts and start your video call. The green light next to the camera should come on. The video won't work at this stage.
  2. Now open Photo Booth to activate the camera.
  3. Your Hangouts call should now have started the camera and you're good to go!


It's important to do it in the order above, although I've heard of it working for a few in the reverse order.


Hangouts

Of course you'll need all your Safari plug-ins up to date, installed and configured with the right permissions before trying this (a quick search will reveal plenty of sites that'll show you how, see link below to access plug-in downloads).


While this is a win for those of us who need Hangouts on Safari it's not a good enough solution. Put pressure on Apple by reporting the issue at Feedback - Safari - Apple

Good luck!


Note:

Google Hangouts App Store

  1. My Hangouts has always worked in Chrome but not Safari (until I tried this workaround)
  2. I'm using macOS High Sierra version 10.13.2
  3. And also Safari version 11.0.2
  4. I've never had a problem with the Hangouts iOS app on my iPhone
  5. If the green camera light doesn't come on in Hangouts I'm afraid I don't have a solution for that
