# Slack custom command for creating ad-hoc Google Hangouts

**This was made without knowledge about [official Hangouts integration](https://issuestand.slack.com/services/2562199464).

You can still use for experimental purposes but for work I recommend using official one.**

Just type `/hangout` in any channel or direct message to create unique Hangout link.
