How to use Google™ Hangouts Panel?
Usage
is very simple. After install, just open the toolbar panel by clicking
on the toolbar icon. Once the panel is open, you will have access to all
Hangouts features right away. Note, if you are not logged in to your

options page is open, you can adjust width and height. Note that all
changes are automatically saved to the memory.
Can I login to more than one Google account?
No, Hangouts only works if you are logged in only to one Google account.
How does badge notification works
Once
you receive a new message from one of your friends, the badge icon
changes to 1. Please note, badge icon does not count the number of
conversions within a friend and only counts the number of friends with
unread message. In other words, if you have several unread conversions
with one friend, the badge icon only shows 1. But when you have for
example 3 friends with unread messages, the badge icon-text will show
the number 3.
