Just another nerdy google apps post

Did you know you can record your google+ hangouts and upload them via YouTube?  Well you can and it's pretty awesome for multiple reasons.  Whether it's flipping your classroom, recording a lecture, keeping meeting notes, or whatever floats your boat you can share them with the world to see (which has its downsides).  Here's a step by step approach to recording and uploading:

1. You have start a hangout by clicking the "Start a Hangout" button on your Google+ profile...it looks like this:


2. You then need to title your hangout, invite people, and click the option "Enable Hangout on air".












3. It will ask you if you want to verify your YouTube account (do it).  Then start the hangout.

4.  To start recording you need to click "Start Broadcast" at the top of the screen.  This will create a live broadcast (obviously) for people to watch on YouTube.  Once the Google+ Hangout is over the live feed will be automatically replaced with a recording and people will be able to view anytime after that.
