With Hangouts, now you can snap photos while still chatting with multiple people over video. This is a new feature that will be available for mobile devices soon. That means you can be anywhere having a video chat and still be able to snap pics. Google’s Jeremy Ng said on Google+,” The challenge, oftentimes, is capturing your favorite moments as they happen, so today we’re introducing the new Hangouts Capture app.”

He Continues, ” With it you can take pictures of your Hangouts-in-progress, including a number of features not available in the usual screenshot workarounds:
– Once you’ve opened the Hangouts Capture app, you can snap photos of your Hangout view with a single click
– All photos are saved to a shared album, visible only to other Hangout invitees
– You can view these photos while inside the Hangout, when browsing your photo albums, or by visiting the original Hangout post
– And, importantly, you’ll always know when the app is in use: when you join a Hangout, when someone opens the app, and whenever a picture is taken.

The Hangouts Capture app will soon be available worldwide, so look for it the next time you join a Hangout. Together with Effects, YouTube and other apps, we hope you’ll find Hangouts an even better way to make memories together.”
