Ok, maybe this is old news for some of you... but don't punch me if it is old.
Seriously. I don't like to be punched!
Let's jump right in: Google didn't just build your everyday social network... no... it is more than that.
For example: the Hangouts. They are magical unicorns sh*tting rainbows and such. Just like the Nyan-Cat. But the rainbows are made of skittles. In fact, they are frickin' magical double skittle rainbows. Yep. That's how they are. I'm just sayin'.
So... now that we've set that straight, let's face a fact. Google needs biz. On Google+ and such.
And a biz needs biz tools. Because tools are made for work. Like boots are made for walking. And that's what they just do. And one day, these boots are gonna...
Yeah I'm tired and I write silly things.
So: What is the one thing on this shiny blue marble called earth that managers love the most, even more than their shiny watches and their shiny shoes?
Meetings.
Yup. You might now connect one or two dots here.
ey(f,"IsMeeting",!0):ey(f,"IsGroupChat",!0)
Huh? what is that? Is that? Could it be?
If I might decode this gibberish for you: It means "Hey is this session a meeting or a group chat?"
So it is not the same. So it must be something new, huh?

well... It seems like Business Profiles gets a naughty new toy...

"Your camera and microphone will be activated for this meeting. Okay?":"Your microphone will be activated for this meeting. Okay?"
Yep, makes sense to me.
Meetings can be obviously audio and video or audio only.

And... yeah rooms can be full.. that is.. logical.

The naming convention here is pretty interesting as it points to Google Voice and as we all (or just me) know, the Google Talkgadget and the people-widget in gMail have strong ties to Google Voice :D
Well well well... things come together here...

Yep, it is Google Voice!

Hear he, hear he! As it seems you can spectate too if there are too many people in the Meeting:
this.Rh("Due to the number of participants in this meeting, your microphone is muted by default.")};
You can also remotely mute the audio of participants if you discuss secret stuff :-O Like.. "Hey, Paul is such an asshole, we should fire him! But on Friday, so he won't do anything stupid. Statistics and stuff."

Also interesting: If you have a kind of
license, you can host...
"You are the last person in this meeting with a host license. If you leave, the meeting will end automatically shortly afterwards. Are you sure you want to leave the meeting?"
So it MIGHT be a service that costs a bit.. but I'm not sure about that though.. might be included in the Google Apps license as this is coming to Google Apps:

"You are inviting people from different domains"

[I'M SORRY] In the gutts of Google+ - Meet me in the Hangouts - Google Meeting

Whoah!
YEs, Yes YES!!!
All my +1 are belong to you.
Nice find!
Great!
Great work, Florian
This is the most excited I've been about + since I got in. :)
Some of this exists (to a point) for apps users or if you have attended a Google webcast. These "meetings" are open to registration or invites but from what I can tell only Google & partners can initially create them. This includes the screencasts, audio, chat, attachments , & follow up meeting notes.
The gVoice integration and etc. sounds awesome though!
Sweet finds!
I think I'm missing something, because I don't get this post - does this mean we can hold video meetings now? Not trying to be weird, I've read this 3 times...
Great sleuthing here :D
I am looking forward to seeing G+ on apps domains, it'll be a great business tool for geographically separated teams.
I love unicorn poop.
Fantastic find again by Nostraflorianus !
@Matt Wolfe:
No it is an indication of things that G+ MIGHT offer to businesses in future through App accounts.
Great work, Flo... like always! :)
is there some kind of +inifinity just like +1 of google. I wanna +infinity google+ :D
Hi Florian,
All your findings are great, but please think about this before you post your further findings.
As we all know, competition is everywhere around us. If you disclose some secret Google product, a competitor may jump in with "similar" idea and steal future Google market share in that area.
I am pretty sure that every serious company hires people to do exactly the same thing you do - "spy on competition". You shouldn't help them :)
Since you like Google and your blog became very popular, think twice if you're doing the right thing for Google.
FYI: at the moment I am not a Google employee, just a Google adorer :)
Hey daniel! Yeah I already thought of that, that's why I contacted Googlers before leaking my last discovery ^^ well they didn't say yes.. they didn't answer at all... but I will continue now doing that, so that Google has a fair chance to ask me not to do it :)
Just have one thing in mind.
I am currently working at one worldwide known company (which I don't want to directly mention right now). A few months ago happened that one of our branches gave an announcement on their site a couple of hours before they were supposed to. (they did not take into account time zone difference)
They ran into serious trouble because of that (and it was only a couple of hours)...
Of course, Google will not sue you, you are not doing anything illegal. They might just stop "serving" things to the public before they are fully baked.
Regards,
Daniel
Issue... currently Google App accounts are not compatible with Google+
Google Apps Account accessing Google+: "Oops... you need a Google Profile to use this feature. Google Profiles is not available for your organisation."
http://http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=182213
Once this is solved businesses will really start to leverage these features. Until this is solved it will be a mess as anyone will know if they have "transitioned" any Google Apps address which also had a Google login attached to access other Google services.
Show stopper yes, once solved killer business app YES.
