You're in control of how you get notified about Hangouts.
So when someone new invites you to a Hangout
or when you receive a new message on Hangouts, you'll get a notification
or you won't. It's up to you. Here's how it works.
Janice is in a Hangout with the other members of her band.
She's on her laptop so she doesn't mind getting a notice
every time someone in the band sends a message. But when she goes to bed
she just wants peace and quiet.
She can choose to mute a particular person or a conversation
or use snooze to block all notifications from everyone
on all of her devices.
Hangouts gives you control over just how available you are
to your friends and family.
