Hopefully if they’re continuing to work on it eventually people can just use roll20 for everything without relying on something else for communication!

Greetings to our Google+ community. As many of you may have heard, Google has announced their plans to shut down the Google Hangouts API as of April 25, 2017.
As we’ve seen previously relying on these third party services has been unsustainable for us. We want you to know we’re going to continue to prioritize the development of our own voice and video solution.
For our full statement and details on how most users can still connect using Hangouts for now, please see the blog: http://blog.roll20.net/post/155682449580/google-hangouts-api

Google Hangouts going away kind of sucks. I guess this isn’t really a surprise, though it is disappointing.

Hangotus aren’t going away, just apps. My plan is to keep running games through HO for voice and video and using roll20 for most games needing dice and cards.
I will miss overlays and dice on screen! but I mostly use HO to record sessions so notes are easier (as in, I don’t write them down because I suck at that)

I have used Skype with Roll20 before and it worked well. Never recorded a Skype session though

We need to perceive a life without hangouts, it is coming. Seems a matter of when, not if. Same for G+
