Watch a YouTube Video With Your Friends by Starting a Google+ Hangout

YouTube has added a new option when you click the share button underneath a video. It says, “Watch with your friends. Start a Google+ Hangout.”

Now, Hangouts have been around since the day that the Google+ project was announced. On June 28, Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice President, Engineering, said on the Official Google Blog, “Whether it’s inside a pub or on a front porch, human beings have always enjoyed hanging out. And why not? It’s how we unwind, recharge, and spend unscheduled time with old and new friends alike. Hanging out is deceptively simple though, and the nuance gets lost online.”
