Google+ : The Treeleaf Community is there

[Heishu]

Thanks Myoku, most of the people I have are in my Treeleaf circle. I've never participated in a Hangout. Last night there was one from Treeleaf (I forget who was in it). I clicked on it and nothing happened. I'm hoping I will be able to see the Jukai ceremony on Sunday in real time and participate.

Same here!

Still piddling with it, still pondering it, and still hoping it will work. My old mind just ain't what it used to be.

We both have two more days to get it.

Hello Alan, Jack,
so you click the "Hangout" button and really nothing happens ? No window opens, no error message or anything ? I've not heard of such thing before, I tried to google for it but could not find anything. Maybe the plugin is missing (but it usually tells you then), its available here:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/hangoutplugin

Sorry, seems I have no further idea's ... anyone else ?

Is it possible that their browser's options are not set to go to a new window when it's opened and it's hiding behind the first window? Just a thought.

Hello folks,

before the beginning of the hangout last night, the hangout window didn't load properly (or rather not at all). It might have been a temporary Google + issue as well, since it was the first time that I encountered this problem (which is why I had to start again four minutes later).

Gassho,

Mine neither - but I'm sure we'll all get the hang of this hanging out process sooner or later (later in my case)

Thank you everyone,
I once had that too, that hangouts just wont start, but for me always a window opened (just it not loaded anything), sometimes I needed to restart the browser, sometimes the computer, but it went away a few month agin and since then I have a 100% success rate (now that i write this it will probably fail the next time).

There are of course some general advices, which might help
- make sure your computer runs the latest updates for your operating system
- make sure to have the latest version of the browser available
- reinstall the google plugin https://tools.google.com/dlpage/hangoutplugin
- make sure your flash version is up to date too
- after you did all this, make sure to reboot

It could also be, if using an old computer, thats its simply not possible, feel free to post your computer specs here in case of problems, it might help to spot the problem,
Good luck

When I start a Hangout from the Communities / Treeleaf zendo screen, I noticed that the notice appears in my Home / All stream. Does this mean that the Hangout is visible to the world? After I invite the Treeleaf Circle the notice appears also in the Home / Treeleaf stream. Do I need to do this?

Hello Rich,

When I start a Hangout from the Communities / Treeleaf zendo screen, I noticed that the notice appears in my Home / All stream. Does this mean that the Hangout is visible to the world?

No, you switch what YOU see with that buttons on top of the stream, so with All you see posts from ALL your circles and communities.

After I invite the Treeleaf Circle the notice appears also in the Home / Treeleaf stream. Do I need to do this?

In short: You dont need to do this. Starting a hangout from the community pages invites everyone in the community (is visible in their stream). The treeleaf circle is basically no longer required and I doubt we will maintain it as it serves no purpose which the community cant do easier.

When you see your hangout in the stream you will see it reads "This post is visible to a limited audience" and clicking on the words "limited audience" will show with whom its shared, BUT there is a bug in the hangouts/community so it will show only you, nevertheless its shared with everyone in the community, I see your hangouts regularly, even when active (just its the time I'm supposed to work :-)).

Alan, at least I'm not alone! I have a MacBook Pro, but that shouldn't make any difference. The plugin has been reinstalled the browser set to open new page when restarting and computer rebooted. The buttons are still dead. I can watch a hangout that's in my stream but that's not in real time. I'll keep at it tomorrow and see if I can get some tech help from Google. And of course any more suggestions are welcome!

Jack,
I'm on Mac too (as several other here),
- when using Safari, do you maybe hav set its preferences to block pop-up windows or disabled plugins (both in preferences/security) ?
- you may want to alternatively install Googles Chrome browser and try with that
Good luck

Welll, it finally works! I'd been using Chrome as my browser so I switched to Safari, and that's what worked. I have no idea why. So, I hope to see everyone at the Jukai ceremony tomorrow.
