Google+ Hangouts
If you follow me on Google+, you will have noticed that I have been having a number of meetings recently on Google+ Hangouts. You can have them from your laptop. tablet or phone.

Secondly, you can share your screen and/or Google Drive documents and third you can record a Hangout and have it automatically uploaded into Youtube. Think of how great it would be to have guests who can't visit your school hangout with multiple classes at once. You can also stream the Hangouts live on Youtube and then record them and have it automatically uploaded into Youtube.
To record check the box in the first screen where it says "enable hangouts."
Then all you need to do is to click on "start broadcast" and you will be on your way.
