I was thinking about getting in on some Jakercon action but I have never used g+. I am sure it is easy, I signed up, now I need someone to give me a for dummies explaination on how you are all running games through it.
Thanks.

Sure! Sign up for G+ first. Then you can start your own hangout and mess around. I'll be running G+ with an open invite to the HJ community on Thurs (7-10 PMT) night and Friday morning (8-11 PMT).
If this doesn't work for anybody let me know and I'll schedule another time.

I gotta get in on this. I have no idea how to use G+ or Google Hangouts, and I need to learn before my Dungeon World game for JackerCon 2013.

I found it fairly easy. The only thing I'm still looking for is some way to turn the volume of certain participants up or down.

I'm trying to work out how Google Hangout with roll20 will let me steam premade video clips. The music is cool as there is a huge selection it's just the search facility is limited - you've got to hope its named accurately as it only searches actual file names. Is it normal to have a 'participant frame' sitting on the roll20 desktop as well as the hangout ones separately below? The roll20 one just has thus crazy modern art patchwork pattern and my name Aaron Aaron

If you're going to game on G+ hangouts, get the hangout toolbox. code.google.com/p/hangout-toolbox/wiki/Documentation It can adjust the volume of other participants at your client end. It also gives you the ability to put your character name at the bottom of your video feed (called the lower third), and do a bunch of other things too.

Haven't tried it yet but it lets us display real time virtual table top...If we wanted to include that in the Hangout Recording.

I tried that, but was only able to mute them entirely. I'll have another look and see what I did wrong. If I'm recording it's much easier if I can just take them up/down a notch instead of telling them to fiddle around until it maybe works.

Yeah if you are hosting the hangout you can control everyone's levels. I find myself occasionally just muting myself or others because of ambient noise (dog barking, kids, gimp asking to be let out of its cellar).
Also, as far as the music goes Aaron. It is a Soundcloud interface...so you have access to that massive, neutron star of a resource. Go to their site to find the specific track your looking for. Also you can upload some of your own with an account.

The Hangout toolbox is a nice addition. Thanks for the heads up.

Yep I think the screen share will work and I solved the double box. The other box is the roll20 blank avatar token - just turned off avatar in roll20 directly and now I have a bigger screen Now it seems to be working I'm getting pretty stoked for Jackercon Aaron

The Hangout toolbox is a nice addition. Thanks for the heads up. Yeah for a free program its pretty damn amazing, along with roll20 thrown in vs what I shelled out for Fantasy Grounds 35.00! However the rulesets and interactive character sheets on FGII are incredible...I'll try to demo them next Con. Also, Hangout toolbox is a great place to make sure your name will appear in your lower third. Especially all us wierdos meeting for the first time out from behind our collective avatars...Although me and Conan are almost identical. We use it in Sir Guido's L5R game for our character names as well as our actual names...Keeps shit a bit less convoluted. Yeah, this is getting good. 10 Days to Go!Cheers, Curt J. (the First)

I am messing around with the google + thing and I still have no clue about most of it. How do you start a hangout how do you make one? I did add the Happyjacks community page, so that is a start.
