Google+ Treeleaf Sangha Page

[Dokan]

Hi Everyone,

So Google has released a feature called "Pages" in Google+. This allows organizations, business and such to host a page on G+. As many of you know (about 58 of you so far) we have a Treeleaf Sangha group out there that many are a part of. However, with the advent of this new option, I am hoping that we can migrate to the new Page. This will provide several good options for us. I can share management of the page, we can post updates to calendars and hangouts as well as host broadcasts of sits (Like the one Soen is going to do).

What does this mean for you. Only two things:

1. Add the new Treeleaf Sangha page to your circles:
- https://plus.google.com/b/116930448607190706458/

2. When starting a Hangout, make sure Treeleaf Sangha is included.
- This will make it visible to everyone in our sangha to join at will.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I am going to write up a short guide this week on Hangouts and then post it up to that page.

Thanks for your continued practice.

Gassho,

Dokan

**Edit** - To help clarify that you are a Treeleaf member, please add something about Treeleaf to your "About" section of the G+ profile..or else I may miss you.

most excellent! I'm hoping G+ pages get a larger hangout capacity.

OK, I've added it. I'm starting to get confused by Google+, to be honest. :-)

Exact same thing here!
How do you create a video chat with this? I didn't took the time to look at it precisly but a tried two weeks ago, to share our weekly sitting (with Yang Hsin) and we didn't succeed... it was a very nice sitting anyway...

Have a very nice day everyone!
And thank you for your sincere practice Dokan!

Just click start hangout to the right on the Google+ screen! Add treeleaf sangha or any circle/people you would like to sit with.
I started yesterday, so I'm no tech guru though! :lol:

Re: Google+ Treeleaf Sangha Page

I think that as Google has been growing this service, it's been getting more and more features, over-complicating things with the noise.

I am going to put together a Quick-Start guide on how to start & join the Hangouts. Should be out this week.

Re: Google+ Treeleaf Sangha Page

And again, you are quicker than me, I was going to suggest it Dokan!

Have a very nice day everyone,

That would be helpful. I'd like to be able to use my iPad to hang out; my laptop fan goes wild when using things like Skype, so it would probably do the same for a video feed via Google+. That would not be very conducive to sitting...

Re: Google+ Treeleaf Sangha Page

Thank Dokan. I have a G+ account and added people (Treeleafers) but as yet have not had the know how to access a Hang out ... any guidance would be well appreciated! Probably could do with some live experience!

Re: Google+ Treeleaf Sangha Page

This is a really rough draft and I may try to fix it more later, but here's at least something for the time being.

I think maybe if I just show it in action it'd be easier. I spent more time with formatting than actual content!

Last summer I had created this video on how to setup G+ and the Hangouts, though some of the stuff may have been updated since then, it also gives an overview.
