Do we now uncheck "Google Chat"?

Google Chat's successor product, Hangouts, works automatically as a forwarding destination, and it does not require an entry on your forwarding phones list.
Does that mean that from now on, anyone with a GV number will have calls to that number automatically ring in Hangouts in addition to any other forwarding numbers, even if you are not logged in, and even if you did not specifically enable this? Is there a way to disable or deselect this feature?
SteveInWA:
It means, that if you are logged into Hangouts on your computer, then yes, Hangouts will ring. If you don't want to use it, then don't log into it.
Some users have reported that it continues to ring anyway, even when logged out. That would be a Hangouts bug, if it were the case, and if that is happening to you, then you can discuss it over on the Hangouts forum.

I'm glad to be rid of Google Chat saying that I'm supposedly "online" 24/7.

Google Chat is obsolete, and it is being shut down on the 15th. The Chat entry on your forwarding phones list is now completely useless, and so it may be disabled and deleted.
So SteveInWA, how does it feel to be completely and utterly wrong? You have been ranting and raving about this so called shutdown for MONTHS! And now here we are May 17th and guess what, It's all good in the hood! Google Chat still working and I STILL have FreeServiceForLife...

Watch what you wish for dude cause if people like you continue to belabor the point you will f*ck it up for the rest of us. Me for one, I'm hoping it continues to work as it has with XMPP for the foreseeable future.
And leave Steve alone, he only gave out information based on what he was told. He's a volunteer for the Google Voice forum and from what I can see does his best to help out people.
