How do I get Hangouts to work?

[AC Question]

Hangouts Not Working

I try and start a video call and the recipient gets nothing. Yet when the recipient tries to start a video call with me it says I'm not yet on Hangouts and would they like to send an invite (which they've tried multiple times, which I receive, but does nothing because I do in fact have Hangouts installed and running).

I even uninstalled updates to Hangouts and reinstalled them, same result.

Any thoughts??

Re: Hangouts Not Working

Welcome to Android Central! What device do you have? Are you logged in with your Google account? Have you tried using Hangouts on your laptop or desktop?

You could try going to Settings>Accounts-Google, removing your Google account, then adding it back again.
