Hangouts on Air Applause app - Let your viewers cheer!
Google just rolled out another app that ties directly to HOA Events that are created via the left-sided "Hangouts" menu. It is called the Applause app.

At the time it was rolled out, it has been turned on by default, which means all HOAs (Hangouts on Air) you start via the Scheduled HOA Event process will have the Applause app turned on. See how to disable it each time here: http://goo.gl/nfr0sg ...

The Applause app along with the Q&A and the Showcase apps all use an "Expanded Player" window when you press the play arrow to view the HOA broadcast or recording. That makes interaction with Event Comments more difficult, but that is a conversation for a different time.

The ability to cheer or boo at various times during a HOA is what we get with this new app. This is another way that Google wants us to interact with HOA shows. Anyone can see the audience response and can jump to the areas of the most cheers or boos by clicking on the interactive chart that shows below the video area.

Learn more details about this new app on the following Google help page: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/2660854

Are you cheering with the rollout of the new HOA Event app?
Please leave feedback in this post's comments if you like, but when you are on the Event page and see this app in use, let Google know what you think via the left-sided menu's Feedback link (or by pressing @ on a grey area). If you do that while on the Event page, Google understands your feedback better.
