To join a "Google Hangout On Air" videoconference

for the first time:

If possible, please use Google Chrome, or Safari.

For this process, it seems one needs to have a gmail ID.

If you might not already have a gmail ID, perhaps you

could create one.

Please open your gmail page.

To accept an invitation to join a Google Hangout

videoconference for the first time:

On the upper right corner of your gmail page, there

may be an image of a bell.

If you might NOT see an image of a bell, look for

a 3x3 set of squares in this same area of the page

(the upper right corner).

If you locate this 3x3 set of squares, click on it. Then

click on "Google+". You would be guided to join

"Google+".

Once you might join, it seems a bell might then be visible.

If you might see an image of a bell, click on it. Then

you might see the invitation to join a Google Hangout

videoconference.

Click on the invitation, and you would be asked to join

Google Hangout. Follow the instructions regarding

how to do so. You may be asked to download a plug-in.

Finally, hopefully, you would be prompted to accept

the invitation, and you would enter the videoconference.
