So I was minding my business on Twitter (that's not entirely true), when I saw a tweet from Tech Crunch about Google introducing a stand alone site for Hangout and I decided to check it out to see how it works differently from using Hangout in Gmail on desktop.
The Google Hangout site is basically for messaging, voice and video calls as you must have guessed. You can message friends one on one and have group conversations with up to a 100 people. The video and voice calls are absolutely free - You need internet though :) and you can invite up to 10 people to a group call.
Your chats are synched from device to device and you are able to keep in touch with your friends across Android, iOS and the web.
What's more?
The use of emojis, GIFs, stickers and others can not be overlooked in the digital media world today and you'll also be able to share all these with your friends.

Personally, I don't see any feature that exactly stands out on the "stand alone" site. Try it out and please share your thoughts in the comment section. Head to https://hangouts.google.com/ to start using the Google Hangout site.
