Last year, we presented
Hangouts live (in the English interface - Hangouts On Air) to a limited number of users. With their help, you communicated with your friends and fans, and the whole world could observe what was happening. Hangouts on Google+ were used for a variety of purposes. We realized that when people have the opportunity to broadcast live video, the results can be astounding:

Today we run Hangouts live for users
around the world . It doesn't matter if you are a creative person, a world celebrity or a citizen who wants to declare his position. If you have something to say, you can do it in real time on Google+. Just a couple of clicks - and you will be able to:
Broadcast video publicly. By connecting Hangouts live, you can broadcast them to the whole world, as well as on the YouTube page or on your own website.
Find out the number of viewers. During the live broadcast you can see how many users are connected to your Hangout.
Record and publish. When the broadcast is over, post your video on YouTube or share it on your Google+ page. This is a simple and convenient way to share and discuss video after the end of the broadcast.
Unfortunately, we cannot simultaneously launch millions of villages broadcasting “live” video. Therefore, the process of connecting Hangouts live for all users will take several weeks. In the meantime, see what is going on live
right now or be inspired by the example of those who have already done live broadcasts.
