How to use Google Hangouts

***You will need a Google account to access Google Hangouts. (If you do not have an account, feel free to make one or skip down to JOIN BY PHONE instructions.)

***You may also need the Google Chrome browser. Click here to install the correct version.

  • For new users, have your Google account login information ready.

  • When prompted, "allow access" to microphone and camera use.

  • Click "Ask to Join” or “Join Now” when prompted.

Other useful Google Hangout notes:

  • We encourage you to mute yourself until you have a question or comment. This helps reduce the amount of noise in the call. Do this by clicking the “microphone” icon. (Click it again to unmute yourself.)

  • If you do not wish to show your face, click on the “camera” icon. (Click it again to unhide your face.)

  • To make Pastor Al’s face large, click the “push pin” icon. (Click it again to show everyone’s faces.")

  • If you wish to write a question or comment, click the “speech bubble” icon in the top right corner of the screen.
