This should make life a lot easier!

This should make life a lot easier!

Live Hangouts on Air streaming within a Google Plus Community!
It is possible, and here is the proof

tim hem from the UK said we could do it and I doubted! But now I see I was wrong! Nice Discovery Tim!

Here are the steps to make this work:
1) Be a member of the GPC (Community) in which you care to broadcast

2) On your Profile (outside the GPC) or via the upper right, press the "Start a Hangout" button. Not the button on the GPC's right sidebar labeled "Start a new hangout"

3) Choose to make the Hangout a HOA (Hangout on Air)

4) Invite the GPC from the Invite screen (should be near the bottom of the list, or type the GPC name... it show the 3-dot GPC symbol on the name chicklet)

5) Back on the GPC page, the Right Sidebar within the GPC near the word "HANGOUTS" will show that there is a Hangout GPC members can Join inside the GPC, even before you go live (Greenroom time)

6) In order for all the members of the GPC to View the Live feed, the folks within the Hangout, need to share/post the Video URL for the HOA into the GPC. Remember only 10 are allowed inside at a time, so others within the GPC can watch if they can't get in this way.

7) It works!... Go live (start Broadcast) and GPC members can watch & comment within the GPC & Join into the filmstrip/HOA (if there is still room)

And we all thought it was not possible!
Thanks for proving us wrong tim hem - and Thanks for double verification to Robert Redl from Vienna.
