Get the whole family together over the holidays, from anywhere
December 18, 2012
Posted by Kevin Maguire, Product Marketing Manager
‘Tis the season for tree trimming, gift giving, recipe sharing and catching up with loved ones over a cup of eggnog. For families that are spread out over cities or even countries, it can be a challenge to get everyone together during the holidays. This year, we’ve teamed up with the creators of
Wallace and Gromit
to add a little extra holiday magic to Google+ Hangouts with a custom invitation builder and a Holiday Effects app.
Click this link
to schedule your holiday family hangout and we’ll send all your invitations out with a custom Wallace and Gromit video. Since hangouts let up to 10 people video chat at once, right from
Google+
or
Gmail
, you can invite the whole family to join---and maybe a few friends too!
Don’t forget to put on a Santa hat, reindeer antlers or even wear Gromit’s ears by adding the
Holiday Effects
app to your family hangout.
Happy holidays from the Google+ and Gmail teams!
