Hi everyone, I plan to use Google+ Hangout to reduced the lag that my players have with their cameras. One of my players don't like that because he find that the roll20 window is too small. Is there a way to hide the google interface and have a "full window" roll20 ?

No, but your players don't all need to use Roll20 embedded in Google Hangouts, they can join the hangout in one window and get in the Roll20 game from another. As GM, you need to load the Roll20 game in the hangout, but you don't have to use it that way either.  Once it is started for the hangout, you can use it in another window if you prefer.

Their connections are the problem here, sometimes they can't even open a new tab :/ so, having them to open roll20 in double is not possible. My will with google+ hangout was to reduce the amount of connection needed to have a camera. We have a TeamSpeak for the sound. I guess they will have to support the interface by an obligatory choice^^

You can set the amount of bandwidth used in Hangout (it lowers the quality though). <a href="https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/2979333" rel="nofollow">https://support.google.com/hangouts/answer/2979333</a>...

Those with enough bandwidth could load Roll20 in a separate tab, those without enough could load it in Google Hangouts, but loading in one or the other won't mean loading it in both, and any bandwidth usage will be only for the person loading it so shouldn't affect any others.

Ok, can do that. I will see if the bad interface is worth the nullity of lags. Thanks everyone!&nbsp;

Another idea, @Timer T is to use hangouts in a browser and use the browser zoom to help. This way, at least the video portion is reduced a little. I find 90% zoom is better than 100% zoom. Unfortunately Chrome then moves directly to 75% which is too small for the text but maybe there are other browsers or extensions that have better zoom control. H
