At one point Hangouts was super easy to use. Send someone a link and they could join.

The interface was iterated on repeatedly until it got to the point that I could barely figure out how in the world to invite people to join a Hangout without having at least a few people run into problems.

It is my belief that Uberconference exists because Google dropped the ball so badly with Hangouts.

For a brief moment, Hangouts let us live in an amazing future where group video chats happened spontaneously, and then someone had to iterate.
