Google Has Just Added Another Cool Source of Entertainment : Sound Effects For Google + Hangouts.
As teased by Google’s own Amit Fulay, there’s now a dozen different sound effects built right into Hangouts — expect everything from cheesy applause and laugh tracks to chirping, gongs, snare drums and ticking clocks. Your conversations will never be the same.
Additionally, developers can also include sound effects into their own apps with v1.2 of the Hangouts API. Right now, we can’t tell if Google will eventually allow developers to create their own sound effects, but that could be interesting for live shows and classes.
To use the new effects, start a Hangout in G+ and click on the “Google Effects” tab shown below.
In order to take advantage of this new feature, users will have to make sure they’re updated to the latest version of the Hangouts Plugin: v3.6. It should update automatically, but if you’re having any issues, you can download the plugin here.
These effects are vapid and whimsical, but sure to appeal to a certain set of Google’s userbase. Recently Google + Crossed 400 Million Users and 100 Million Monthly Active Members.Within 12 Months.

Google has snapped up the digital photo editing service Snapseed as part of its effort to compete against Facebook's online social network.
Snapseed is the centrepiece of Google's acquisition of Nik Software, which developed the service's photo-editing technology.
The deal announced Monday gives Google a popular service that competes against Facebook's Instagram, whose tools are widely used to display, touch up and share photos taken on smartphones and tablet computers.
Facebook bought Instagram for $715 million in a deal that closed last month.
Google Inc. didn't disclose the terms of the Nik Software acquisition.
Snapseed could be used to increase usage of Google Plus, a social networking alternative to Facebook.
Although it has grown rapidly since its debut nearly 15 months ago, Google Plus is still experimenting with different features aimed at getting Web surfers to check into the service more frequently.
Google Plus now has about 400 million accountholders, according to a post Monday by Vic Gundotra, a Google executive who oversees the service. About 100 million users come to Google Plus each month, Gundotra said. Facebook boasts 955 million active users.
