Points raised in the hangout were:
- Have a green/red system for mic mute button
- Be able to reserve space for people in the hangout
- Be able to open a second video chat to have a private chat but still be able to get back into main hangout.
- Be able to lock participant number. Ie only 6 people can join this hangout
- Better ways of finding public hangouts
- Have a courtesy document explain what people should and should not do in a hangout
- When you hover over someone’s name the ID Box pops up, the same as if you hover on someone’s name in the stream.
- Be able to easily tell what time zone people are in. Maybe have a +5 or -5 in their thumbnail to say they are 5 hours ahead or behind your own timezone.
On-air specific topics
- Be able to have a lower thirds come up in the stream with person’s name when you green box someone
- Create a universal hangout time zone
- Have a system whereby the host has to authorise entry to the hangout if link Is shared
- Fix URL loophole. If the On-Air hangout url gets posted ANYONE can join that on-air hangout
- Have an individual audio function. Ie, be able to turn the hangout down without turning yourself down (Musicians would love to do this)
- Only record the hangout once we click Broadcast button.
