Trying Google Hangouts instead of Skype? -- You will want this...





   

When Skype is running, I can easily tell when I get a call.  With Google Hangouts, not so much.

With Google Hangouts (GHO) I needed to be right on a page like Google Plus or Gmail to see that the call was coming in.  Thankfully a co-worker told me about this great add-on that alerts me with a pop-out window whenever I get a call.

Here are the steps to add it:




  • Open Chrome
  • Insert this into the address bar:
    • chrome://apps/
  •  go to the "Web Store" (lower right)  
  • enter "hangouts" in the search box
  • select the Hangouts Extension (click the "Free" button to install it :
