Some highly-requested improvements to Hangouts On Air

Have you ever missed the beginning of a live Hangout On Air and wanted to rewind? How about viewing and sharing your recording right after your broadcast, versus waiting for "processing…"? Today we're launching these, and two other features, to improve your Hangouts On Air experience: 

- Rewind live broadcasts. Regardless when you start watching, you can always go back to the beginning.

- Access recordings immediately after your broadcast. Once you're no longer On Air, your recording will be waiting for you on YouTube.

- Watch higher quality Hangouts On Air on the go. If you're tuning in from your mobile device, you'll notice better-looking video.

- Start live broadcasts without having to refresh. When you visit a page with a Hangout OnAi... more »

My first hours with Google Glass...
"My first awkward moment with Glass came when I walked into the bathroom. Do I ... do I take it off? No one else was in there to complain about me wearing it, but ... err ... well, it felt weird to wear it, even if it wasn't recording anything. What did I fear? An accidental first-person view of the bathroom stall door? It would be very challenging to take and share a photo by sheer accident, but I still felt strange. I opted to put Glass on top of my head, like a headband."

More than a week after the terror attacks at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, there remain more questions than answers: What motivated Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev to carry out the attacks? Were more attacks planned? Were the suspects trained by Islamic militant groups? What lessons were learned by the US and intelligence agencies to prevent future attacks? What’s next in the investigation?

We’ll address those questions and more in a live Google+ Hangout on Thursday, April 25 at 12pm ET. Join NBC News Justice Correspondent +Pete Williams who has been covering the story from Washington, D.C., and Kerry Sanders, who has been reporting on the attack and its aftermath from Boston.

Ask questions here or use the hashtag #AskNBCNews on Twitter.

Google Glass journalism test

I wondered, can Google Glass be used for journalism? Turns out it can. Here's an interview I did with the CEO of Desti, a new big-data iPad app for travelers. http://www.desti.com

Works pretty well, no?

One problem, though, is battery life. Recording this video took 20% of my Google Glass' battery.

Another problem? The Microphone doesn't pick up external sources very well, so it can't be used for interviews. I bet Google did that to keep privacy concerns to a dull roar. After all, if you can't hear an interview in a quiet studio chances are you won't be able to hear a street conversation in a noisy bar or something like that.

Does anyone actually like the sound of typing in a Hangout?
click click clack clack click clack clack!

If you’ve done Hangouts, you’ve almost certainly experienced it.  It’s hard to chat over that typing.  Maybe you’ve accidentally been that typist, and didn’t realize it until someone muted you!   That’s why we’ve added automatic muting when you type.  Specifically:

- If someone keeps typing in a Hangout, their mic will be muted until they stop
- They'll see an in-Hangout notification, so they know they're not interrupting the conversation
- We’ll do this for larger Hangouts (4+ people).

We hope this feature makes your Hangouts experience even more enjoyable, and we welcome your feedback in the comments!
