Works great
by A Google user, 2017-02-08
This was literally the best thing that has ever happened to me. When google decided to make a new hangout layout my life was over, but now with this I can rest easy. I didn't know beauty until I saw this. Don't let your dreams be dreams. Thanks man you da best man.
