Fortunately, they’ve changed the Hangouts Extension to be essentially the same as the Chrome App. (Granted, it’s not until 2018 that they’ll actually be put to rest). Unfortunately, Google announced in August that they are doing away with Chrome Apps entirely. Instead, I switched to the Chrome App version of Hangouts. I tried using multiple Gmail windows in Chrome and popping out conversations, but that method has the same issue as the old extension regarding screen space. It was also too invasive of the screen space on my laptop with only a 13-inch display. The old version did not play well with multiple monitors on my desktop computer. Personally, I find the latest iteration of the Hangouts Chrome Extension to be much better than its predecessor. The official Hangouts clients seemed like a better solution to me, so I switched to that. I also found it to be unreliable it would randomly disconnect my account. However, but you end up losing out on a lot of the features of Hangouts. Originally, I tried using third-party messaging apps like Adium to add all of my accounts. I thought I’d share the setup works that best for me and provide a quick tutorial on how to be signed in to two or more Hangouts accounts at once. Lately, I’ve been working on getting my messaging through Google Hangouts set up a little better, and it wasn’t immediately obvious how to do that.
This is especially true if you use the desktop versions of their apps and even more so if you use multiple computers. Google hasn’t always made it easy to manage multiple accounts that you use regularly. If you need help, please contact our team.
