One Circle can be named “Company” which will have everyone in your company and sharing important information and updates with them specifically is fast and easy. On the other hand, you can also have a circle named “Customers” where it will include all the customers who are interested in your company’s services.

Aside from the “Circle” feature where you can organize people into different categories, there is also the “Hangout” feature. The Hangout feature is a convenient way to make conference calls with other colleague when you have to discuss with them about a project or to see how they are doing. A neat feature that Hangout has is that the main video that appears will always switch to the person that is talking on the microphone so you always know who is talking. When you set up a call, any can join easily, depending on how you set it up. It incorporates this with the Circle feature where you can set up a Hangout within only a certain circle. For example if you have something to discuss with your company only, you should only set up the Hangout with the company Circle. However if your advertising your campaign live, you can set up a Hangout with your customers and they can join anytime they like to hear what you’re saying.
