New Google Handouts app replacing Google Talk: any affect?
Dale:
I have noticed that an incoming call also 'rings' in my Chrome browser.
Can we get any confirmation about trying the new hangouts in gmail? It is not clear to me SteveL changed it in gmail or some other Hangout app in Chrome....
My system is running ok at present but someone will forget and try the new Hangout at some stage I bet....

I made a post about this in another thread: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=904.msg37999#msg37999

From a developer standpoint it should not matter if you "upgrade Gmail". Further is does not appear to matter what computer or what browser you use to upgrade. Google will leave it working for backward compatibility for apps that use xmpp. Google is also leaving the option to revert meaning they plan to support it for a while longer. When Google forces you to update you will know the end is near for that protocol on Google Voice.

However, I've seen confirmation from at least two people that upgrading to the new Hangouts in Gmail breaks the incoming calling feature on the Obi using Google Voice. This is my largest concern as I've set up several friends and family members with an Obi using GV.
That is not the case. Enabling Hangouts has no effect on OBi for now. I just now tested it to be sure. The issue that IS annoying is that switching to Hangouts in Gmail removes the ability to make OUTbound calls from Gmail, using the Google Voice & Video chat browser plugin (now known as the Hangouts plugin, but it is the same thing). The good news is that you can simply click on your avatar in the lower left side of the screen, and "revert" back to the old chat, for now, until Google works this out. For more details, join us over on the Google Voice forum.
