Google+ Hangouts are integrated with your Google Calendar, which makes it easy never to miss a Hangout if you add it to your Calendar events – you'll get a reminder.

If you enabled AutoShare when you posted your first video, know that you can change this at any time by visiting your Channel settings.

You will need to have a linked YouTube and Google+ account, to use AutoShare. You can keep your old YouTube name, but your accounts must by linked via the same Gmail address.

You can also monetize your YouTube account, and there is strong speculation that this will increase your Google+ SEO. Monetizing your YouTube account will also allow you to upload videos over fifteen minutes in length. And once you have done this, you'll be able to brand your Channel.

This is a formal process rather than simply “good branding techniques”: You’ll need to send your YouTube username to your Google Account Team and request to have your account converted to a brand channel in order to access all your Channel branding advantages.

You can add a Google+ annotation to your videos at any time by using the Google+ button as a graphic “Hot Spot” connected to your Profile URL, to encourage people directly to visit your Google+ profile.

There is so much more to all the possibilities of using video with Google+: And if certain features are glitchy, currently in flux (or even simply not there any more) – relax! Google+ is changing, ironing these out – and everyone else is experiencing the same things you are. Take a deep breath, create a Hangout, and jump in.


After all, you want to be the one who has mastered all the opportunities – while others are only just beginning to discover them!

on your google plus profile page under videos, is there a way to segment by videos? Where people from different circles will only see the videos you have shared with the circle they are a part of?
