Hangouts API discontinued

Call from Hangouts doesn't work for me anymore, because Google decided they'd arbitrarily discontinue the Hangouts API.

You can use a replacement I made to call directly using Hangouts.

  1. First, to go https://hangouts.google.com .
  2. Open the Developer Console, then click the 'Console' tab.
  3. Copy and paste the following code into the console: navigator.registerProtocolHandler('tel', 'https://hangouts.google.com/?hl=en-GB&action=chat&pn=%s', 'Hangouts')
  4. Accept the prompt to replace the tel handler.

Now calling from Hangouts using tel links works again. Hope this helps someone.
