Google Hangouts API: Can I start an “On Air” Hangout?

Question

Is there a way to start an \"On Air\" hangout via the API? I\'ve got my application created and working great, however I need the hangout\'s embed code for my customers.

Answer 1

You can embed a hangout if you broadcast the hangout "on air" on youtube at the same time.

The embed button is at the top of the hangout.
