Using Pidgin With Google Hangouts

[Eion Robb]

Hi again,

(In future, please cc the support@ mailing list in case someone else is
able to help you better/sooner)

You'll only be able to use XMPP to voice/video chat with other XMPP
contacts (eg, other users using Pidgin) and only if their client supports
XMPP's voice/video system. You won't be able to call people who are only
using the Hangouts app.

Cheers,
Eion
