"Google Hangouts\u00A0video calls will soon be just a tad simpler in Chrome. In a Google+ post, software engineer Victoria Kirst announced that in Chrome you'll no longer need\u00A0to download and install a plugin.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Just click to start the Hangout, allow Hangouts to use your camera and microphone, and you\u2019ll be good to go,&amp;quot; she said.\r\n\r\nThe update should be available now for users of the Chrome Dev and Canary channels; the public Chome release should follow &amp;quot;over the next few weeks,&amp;quot; according to Kirst. It's a small improvement, but one that should make Hangouts just a little easier to use for newcomers.\r\n\r\n\u27A4 Google Hangouts Plugin\u00A0[via Google+]\r\n\r\nFeatured image credit:\u00A0GEORGES GOBET/AFP/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
