Google Discontinues Hangouts on Air

I wish google would provide an idea of product supported lifetimes similar to the LTS releases we see from Ubuntu. Give us a product and tell it will be supported until at least XX&#x2F;XX&#x2F;XX date.<p>I simply do not use google products beyond search and maps because I can&#x27;t trust they&#x27;ll be around without significant changes (gmail) or discontinuation.

I used Hangouts on Air to live stream several weddings. It was great because you could set it up ahead of time, send out the private link to whoever you want, and the link would work both during the event and after - no need to upload the recorded video. Oh well, time to look for something else now.

There was a Hangouts on Air ? Its funny that some of these discontinued Google products seem to get more attention at their ending then at their start.

Hangouts on Air has a bit of functionality which a lot of streamers value highly: The picture will automatically change to the speaker.<p>Is there any other software that does this as well as Hangouts on Air does?

Is there anything comparable? I watch multiple “shows” that use Hangouts on Air (Adafruit Show &amp; Tell, Makercast, etc), I wonder what they’ll use now.

I think hangout meet live streaming is supposed to be the replacement for hangouts on air[1].<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;meet&#x2F;answer&#x2F;9055488" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.google.com&#x2F;meet&#x2F;answer&#x2F;9055488</a>

I just can&#x27;t consider Google Products for any production use cases anymore.

I guess this opens up a market opportunity for an easy to use video group chat with a youtube integration.

OP, what evidence did you view&#x2F;receive&#x2F;etc that led you to post this?

Why can&#x27;t you use Google Meet and stream it to YouTube?

As an aside, that is a refreshingly simple blog theme.

Was this a paid product? Was it heavily used?

That&#x27;s just Gross misconduct.
