Google+ gets a YouTube app for Hangouts


YouTube software engineer, Ullas Gargi wrote in a blog post on the YouTube blog that Google+ users in the middle of a Hangout can create, control, save and even share playlists of videos with friends. When you start a Hangout, you'll see a tab to download the YouTube app on the top right corner of the screen. Every user in the Hangout needs to download the app, so everyone can engage in sharing videos. 



Anyone engaged in a Google+ Hangout, after adding the YouTube application can use the search tool to search for and add videos, or remove videos they don't like. Everyone in the Hangout can drag and drop videos to change the order in the playlist, and are also able to skip forwards or backwards to watch the next video or the previous video. If you need to say something to everyone in the group, you can hit 'Push to talk', which will let you either give props to the person who submitted the most awesome videos or to reprimand the user who added the worst videos.If you like a video that is playing, you are able to share it with your Google+ circles. You will also be able to share your playlists.
