Ability to use Hangout apps as a page
I am not sure when this 'feature' launched, but THIS IS HUGE NEWS!

You are now able to set a username/password for your Google+ page as an owner. This allows you to use third party tools like Hangout apps. You can also log into your page directly by using the username/password combo.

This means you can run Hangout Toolbox for instance and lower thirds.

In the future that may also allow you to connect a YouTube channel directly to your page, which will make it easier for you to record your live Hangouts (HOA) to the correct YouTube channel.

The information about how to set your password for your page can be found on the official support page: http://goo.gl/gKn5d

Big thanks to Allen Firstenberg for bringing it to my attention!!!

    Yes, you'll have to create a new username password for the page. It will only work for the page not as an email alias.
