Introducing v1.2 of the Hangouts API

Back in May we launched v1.1 of the Hangouts API, and it's been great to see apps like Hangout Lower Third (http://goo.gl/2JXTK) and Donut Horns (http://goo.gl/QvJc3) use the new features. Today's v1.2 release gives hangout developers even more options, including the ability to:

- Add sound effects like a laugh track or applause
- Control which guests in On Air hangouts appear in the video broadcast. (We actually used this feature to build the Cameraman app: http://goo.gl/w6TQF)
- Get more information about hangouts, including topic, preferred locale, and the YouTube ID of On Air hangouts
- Manage memory, audio and video resources more efficiently

To learn more about today’s API updates, you can browse the release notes here: http://goo.gl/OWy2v. All v1.2 features are available immediately (in the sandbox, and in public hangout apps), so you can start building right away.

Let us know what you think in the comments, and feel free to point to your apps-in-progress!
