Hi there
In case I make a voice chat, the hangout video feature is closed and only audio feature isused.
However, I checked it with Google support below, but it is not clearly marked, so
I have a question.

Make a call from traditional Hangouts

I look forward to hearing from those who have actually experienced it.

Hangouts is free in the U.S. and Canada and offers low international rates, so you can make voice calls, send text messages, and even have group video chats from your mobile device or computer without paying a dime.

As you have problem for a video call, you might need to turn on permissions for your camera and microphone in your computer's settings.

Otherwise check out everything is OK before starting a real video call.

1. Check Hangouts system requirements.
2. Connect a camera, microphone, and speakers with the latest software to your computer.
3. When asked to use your computer's camera and microphone, click Allow.
4. Download and install the latest version of the Hangouts plugin for Internet Explorer.

Hope my answer will help you some way.

@ GeekPeek

Thank you for your reply.
>As you have problem for a video call
not video call→voice call
Before google meet→via video call, then the camera feature is turned off and go on talking
on the voice
After google meet→video call feature is no more, instead, we use via google meet, which issues a common URL so that we talk on the voice

I would like to receive your comments for the above.
