Google hangouts?

The tutorial mentioned google hangouts and "other VIOP" integration but I can't seem to figure out how to set it up. A little help?

Can you remember the wording? You can use Google hangouts for Voice Over Internet Protocol, but there hasn't been integration since Google withdrew their API for Google Hangouts 3-4 years ago.
From the tutorial Voice and video are the primary communication methods used on Roll20. The default method uses the internal video and voice options powered by WebRTC technology. Roll20 also supports Google Hangouts integration and is compatible with other 3rd Party Video or VOIP software.

Wow, that's really old text. The tutorial is extremely out of date and breaks at some point (I think around the Jukebox section). Ignore that bit, it has not been true for years. Since then, Roll20 has completely revamped its Audio/Video capabilities. Some folks use it without issue, but it seems that the more connections, the less reliable it becomes. Many people advocate using a third party tool for voice and video.

I switched from Google Hangouts to Discord when the Hangouts API was withdrawn. It’s worked fine for my intercontinental games every since.
