On your computer, you can use the Hangouts Chrome extension or app to send messages, make video. On your computer, download Hangouts on Chrome.

I’ve been on the lookout for a Google Hangouts desktop app for the Mac and there are actually few decent choices out there. First off, I don’t want to run a Chrome extension and I don’t want to have to keep Gmail open in the background. That works for some, but it’s either out of sight, out of mind, or it’s jumping up in front of everything else annoying me. My goal is a Hangout app that can live without a browser. Recently I found. YakYak is actually quite impressive.

It looks great, works pretty darn good, and it’s free currently. I accidentally stumbled upon it the other day and I’ve been using it ever since. So far, so good, however it’s currently in development and does lack some features; like spell check. I also purchased not long ago. It’s a pretty good app that looks similar to Hangouts.

The main downsides are that it’s a paid app, although not too spendy, and it has a weird “feature” where it makes the active chat tab grey and background tabs white. This is backwards to me. Was the hot new app not long ago, but recently it went free and then I think development stopped, or slowed way down.

It’s a decent app, great interface, spell check, and free. Definitely worth checking out since it’s free, but it’s starting to show the lack of updates as some things don’t seem to work like they should. There’s also and but I haven’t tried them.

Adobe flash player for mac os. Since you're posting on an OS X 10.5.8 thread, I'm assuming you have a 10.5.8 system. Flash Player is no longer supported on OS X 10.5.8. The last supported version is 10.3.183.90, released 09-July-2013. It is available for download on the Archived Flash Player versions page. Re: downloading flash player for mac os x 10.5.8 Kaewngam Apr 26, 2013 6:43 AM ( in response to kerbunner ) MacOSX 10.5.8 was the last version of the OS that ran on both PowerPC and Intel Macs.

They look a lot like Hangouts Plus though. Messages and work with Hangouts too, but only for basic text messages. They don’t include some of the bells and whistles and they don’t do a good job at marking things as read in Gmail. When I go back into Gmail, I hate seeing unread Hangout conversations when I’ve already completed those conversations. At the end of the day, there really isn’t any great Hangouts desktop app for the Mac. There are some pretty good choices, but Hangouts is still best in the browser, even if some of us don’t want to be locked in the browser.

Many thanks for the advices. If I'm asking the question, that's because I searched the WEB and found various applications for Mac OS X, such as YakYak or Hangouts Plus.

But nothing for Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) that will no longer be supported by Chrome WEB browser. So I was wondering whether a standalone application such as YakYak or Hangouts Plus is working with my OS. That may be an older release of a Hangouts client that could be launched under Mac OS X 10.6.8. The solution in the navigator is not appropriate, because they're not maintained anymore.

The only problem is that I'm under Mac OS X 10.6.8, and that the generated 'Hangouts' app requires Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
