I recently discovered a parameter to pass to a google hangout uri to make it "on air": reference
I'm also wondering if I can pass any other parameters. I know that we have app_id, but I'm more interested to know if there are other parameters, such as being able to set the title or the hangout in advance, e.g.
https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_?hso=0&title=EdX%20SaaS%20Pairing
Because then I could direct people to https://plus.google.com/u/0/s/%23hangoutsonair%20EdX/hangouts and they could see all the on air hangouts associated with our MOOC. I did experimentally try passing title=, topic= and name= all to no immediate effect ...
I'd also love to know if there's a way to automatically start the live broadcast, or even better have the hangout be automatically associated with and published to our G+ pair programming community:
https://plus.google.com/communities/100279740984094902927
Many thanks in advance
Got this response from Tim Blasi at Google:
I'm a developer working on video calling. Unfortunately, you can not currently configure the video call in the way you are describing. However, we've received a lot of feedback that this is a pain point and we're currently working to address it. We'll keep your request in mind as we move forward.

resurrecting an old thread, but for a good reason.
i recently found that its possible to bypass the landing page and pre-select your user account
https://meet.google.com/lookup/my-room-name?authuser=my-email#account.com
just replace my-room-name and my-email#account.com

I am trying to set up IBM Watson Assistant Web Chat and from the documentation, it seems pretty simple (just do the config and copy and paste the embed code) https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/assistant?topic=assistant-deploy-web-chat
However, I have found that when I paste this onto my website, navigating to a different page or reloading will just refresh the session. This is not what I want as I want the session to continue off from where it was in the chat (and for all this to be displayed in the window). I have tried looking through the detailed documentation as well, but there doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for: https://web-chat.global.assistant.watson.cloud.ibm.com/docs.html?to=
I have also tried passing in the userid but still on navigation the chat refreshes.
Does anyone know if there's a way to solve this? I really need a solution since the same problem occurs on the live chat integration I have set up with salesforce.
Thanks, in advance
A feature update to support session history is coming soon.
There is a Facebook app which has enabled the depricated facebook-chat feature where users can chat whilst playing their game. Unfortunately there has been a dirge of spammers and scammers posting in this chatroom, which we would wish to automatically detect and send emails or some other alerts to us so that we can more immediately block/ban these users.
Is this possible somehow? What we've tried was to create a python scraping application but it wasn't immediately obvious how to log into facebook and get HTML of an app through a python call.
I've since been introduced to bookmarklets as a concept. Perhaps this could solve the issue? There could be some type of javascript code in a bookmarklet, and all one would need to do is load up the game, open the facebook-chat, and then click the bookmarklet, and leave the computer running 24-7. The javascript would parse the DOM for suspected scam links and send email reminders when found.
This is just me brainstorming possible ideas. I'm really not sure how to approach this automation problem, and I am not finding anything useful online either.
We ported our site to Google maps, but we get different errors when loading a map using the JavaScript Maps API (v3 of course). Other times the map loads correctly. The two most prominent errors are:
"Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application. See the
Terms of Service for more information
http://www.google.com/intl/en_US/help/terms_maps.html." (JS Alert)
And:
"This site has exceeded its daily quota for maps. If you are the
creator of this site, please visit the documentation to learn more."
(this is a DOM overlay)
Live minimal example:
This code is not yet live but there's a minimal example here: http://mappat.com/maptest.php. It is simply Google's own Hello World example with our key filled in and even that gives problems.
Network traffic inspection:
I noticed the first error is shown when 'AuthenticationService.Authenticate' fails (returns [0,5,0]), the second when 'QuotaService.recordEvent' returns [0,null,0]. These are remote calls from within the SDK and I don't know if these details are relevant.
What we tried:
Billing is enabled by the way and we stay way below our quota limits. I tried a lot of things already, new key, waiting a few days, turning the Maps API off and on again in the console, etc. I filled in the allowed referrers but also left it open to allow others. No difference.
I don't dare to start a new project in de dev console because this whole thing started when I did actually just that because I had (different) problems with the server-key. That server part is now working flawlessly btw, kind of ironically.
[Edit: I just tried to leave out the API key when loading the JS maps file, which, fingers crossed, seems to work. But now the server-side calls to places/searchtext start to give random "The provided API key is expired." errors, again (same reason we created the new project). Coincidence? Also, I don't like this option, especially with regards to the future (reaching 25k, going beyond and going Business Account)].
So, I'm stuck. Hence my first SO question ever. Could it be that we are blacklisted? Perhaps because of the duplicate project? Is there a way to find that out and/or to get us 'reset'? Or am I simply overlooking something?
Any help is appreciated because until we solve this, this is a deal-breaker.
Sidenote: I also filed a bug report because I think giving random errors on itself is not expected behaviour. It's up to the dev team to decide if they agree. If not, we still have a problem, hence this SO question.
I think you have a syntax error in your php var dump:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDYuWR5wqux1_iTmfIWPveheIOr5PhqjEs&?>sensor=FALSE&language=en">
</script>
you have ?> just before sensor
This issue magically disappeared after a week or so.
I didn't get any response from Google, but they may have change/reset something behind the scenes, of course. The bug is still marked 'new', by the way.
My advice to others having this issue is to first check some basic things, since the individual errors I got could also result from actual things you're doing wrong (ie mistake in allowed-referers). If all seems okay after triple checking, just remove the API key from the request, test along like that for a while and retry in a couple of days.
Is it possible to get a real-time notification (without extensive polling) for changes made to a Google document (document / spreadsheet / presentation)? If so, what is the model structure (if that makes sense)? Any pointers to documentation or samples would help!
The documentation at https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-changes gives an API call that returns instantly and tells you whether there have been any changes since the last one. However, this is useless you want to know almost as soon as a change has been made -- you would have to make back to back API calls every second or sooner and churn a lot of resources. The Drive Real-time API in contrast gives a way to be instantly notified of any changes without extensive and frequent polling. It does this with an HTTP call that "hangs" until there is a change ready (or a timer expires). This is a classic long-poll technique.
My question is whether such a facility exists for Google Documents / Spreadsheets / Presentations. Or is it available only for custom app-specific files other than these standard ones. If it is not available, are there any plans for making them available?
Thanks in advance!
In my knowledge - the answer is "NO". I have tried this before and could only do it with the timed polling. The API is limited to tell you only when you ask, not when something happens.
I thought of a code that is embed into document and does a self broadcast to a specific URL or some listener. My experiments were with Google App Scripts. Detail idea is to create a custom function that gets triggered on the 'Save' event. But I could go no further as there is nothing enough in documentation as per me to achieve this specific goal.
On the timelines for this availability, there are questions in the scripts forum on this, but none replied on these lines.
It looks like it, see https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/changes
it has examples too
edit:
https://developers.google.com/drive/manage-changes
more info about tracking changes
The answer, I'm afraid, is no. There is currently no way for you to be notified by email when a change is made to a Drive text document. This function is available for spreadsheets, but not for text files. If your document is public, you ccan subscribe to its RSS feed to view changes, or use the Tools -> Revision History function in Drive.
There is one downloadable program, googledocsnotifier --information--, which emails you when edits are made and allows you to open the doc that was edited, but it appears that it only works when you are online. You can download it here.
Hope this helps!
I'm just finishing a web page for our sales guy to quickly go through a list of contacts.
Is it possible to initiate a call from our Vonage line via a Hyperlink?
They offer an application called "Click-2-Call" but I hope it's possible to initiate it using only a Hyperlink.
This would probably require an addon to support a custom protocol that allows your Vonage system to function in this way.
I imagine that something like
Call 123-456-7890
Where the "phone" protocol would be recognized as a phone number that could be called by some default voip program. Then, setting Vonage to handle that protocol would allow this to work.
But, I don't believe that this is currently the case.
Yeah, this is speculation but I know skype has a browser plugin that looks at each web page and find the phone numbers and makes them clickable. It probably just sends some info to the skype client on the machine to make the call.
I haven't seen click-2-call before.
This would be interesting to implement in an app with a PBX system as well :)
Please let us know if you find some good info!
Maybe you could use a packet sniffer like Ethereal to see what gets sent where when you use click-2-call. It'd be pretty cool to create an outlook extension to dial my Vonage line, I don't like click-2-call very much.
