Gradually unlinking Google services from your Google+ social network, it's Google Hangouts On Air's turn.

It is no secret that Google has taken steps to gradually de-link its services from its Google+ social network. By decoupling we mean that it is not necessary to have a profile on Google+ to use these services .

Applications like Hangouts, YouTube and a few days ago Google Play, have been removed from the social network Google+. We do not know if this indicates that the end of Google+ is close, but what we are totally sure, is that each time their services are further away from this.

Recall that YouTube is the source with more audiovisual resources worldwide, which makes it the perfect setting to broadcast live interviews. In fact, it is at this point of live broadcasts, where Youtube limps a bit with respect to its main competitors.

As of September 12 , we will only need a Youtube account to broadcast live or to be able to intervene in the retransmissions. As an inconvenience, Showcase features (also called showcase and allows to show products during retransmissions), Applause (also called applause and allows to intervene in the broadcast to give the opinion with the thumb up or down) and Q & A (for that the host can receive questions from the viewers).

Finally, the retransmissions will be stored in the host's YouTube channel when they finish. While it is true that Google hits a blow to your social network, this change has the advantage of simplifying a lot of things for regular users of Google Hangouts On Air.
