Re: Wikipathways presentation: Google Hangout - 10 participant limit

Hi,

Actually many more people can watch the presentation via YouTube streaming
if the Hangout On Air option is selected.

I personally like Google Hangouts for many reasons such as the recording
for YouTube.  While only 10 people can be in the Hangout, there are ways to
setup for live chat so that anyone can ask questions as well.  The big
reason, it is available on all platforms no matter where you are as long as
you have an Internet connection.   Great tool, but like all good tools it
does require a bit of planning and familiarity.

They do not support Linux.   Which is a big deal for some of us.
