Google hangouts instead of Skype
Hi everyone! I'm very new to italki so I'm hope that I'm not repeating a topic that has already come up before. I had hoped that when I signed up that I would find more teachers that used Google Hangouts and FaceTime instead of Skype. I had a lesson last night with a teacher and used Google Hangouts and it was great! All you need is a google account. Skype freezes on my computer. Could I get some opinions about these options to communicate?

I am the about the same as bdcantre, I use Skype because most teachers do and a lot of students prefer that. I think Google Hangouts is a great option, and I have that option available for my lessons, but not a lot of people use it for some reason. I am not a fan of Facetime; the connection is usually no good and it's always so pixel-y.

I tend to use Skype simply because this is what most teachers use. Yet when we have had problems with Skype, we have tended to use Google Hangouts as a backup. I do think it would be helpful to have both as options.

I've used both, and Skype has been more stable for me. I guess it depends on a few things, including your internet connection, computer power, etc.
In general, when taking lessons, I turn off the webcam as it tends to slow things down. It also forces you to really listen.

Thank you both. I wish more people would use it. It's free and easy to set-up. I had a feeling it had to do with what people were used to.
