As Google Kills Off Hangouts on Air, Are They Taking Small Business With Them? Asks Universal Media Online

Brisbane, Australia, August 18, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Universal Media Online reports: As Google themselves reported and published around the world in additional reports, Hangouts on air, the popular service used by many small business owners and entrepreneurs to run Webinars and group meetings will no longer be available to schedule events. Instead, they are moving the service to Youtube Live, leaving those who depend on Hangouts and 3rd party software that relies on google hangouts wondering what is next for them? and what are the cost effective methods still available to run Webinars and Webinar software (without depending on Hangouts)?

Although Hangouts on Air made running webinars a cost effective solution, it never really gave the presenter the feeling of a live stream - as the delay from presenter to attendee was sometimes in excess of 30 to 45 seconds. The great news is for small business owners and Entrepreneurs alike that alternative webinar solutions exist that aren't reliant on the hangout platform and can deliver the true live streaming experience that is needed. 

As Google themselves reported in their post on the google support page, Hangouts on air, the popular service used by many small business owners and entrepreneurs to run Webinars and group meetings will no longer be available to schedule events.
