Hangouts Notificator is an application created to fill in the void of having no notification system for Hangouts messages. This messaging software lets you view and reply to your Hangouts messages without running a web browser. Typically, when you need to chat with someone on Google Hangouts, you need to visit the Hangouts website or open your Gmail account. With Hangouts Notificator, you don’t have to do them anymore. The app uses Hangouts’ web interface and IE engine to display new messages in a configurable popup window. With this, you can read your messages straight from your desktop. Hangouts Notificator preserves Hangouts’ chatting capabilities, including file exchange and video chats. You can even configure the app upon startup to automatically log in whenever you open your computer. You can also adjust the size of the app’s window so that it does not take up your entire screen. Hangouts Notificator is a relatively new app so expect a few bug issues. It also stores your password in an unencrypted format, requiring you to change them regularly for your security.
