If you have a smartphone connected to AT&T, you just got a bit more incentive to hop over to WiFi whenever possible. The new Google+ Hangouts app group video chat feature appears to be disabled whenever you attempt to connect via the cellular network. We tested the feature using a Verizon handset as well — we were able to stream video just fine. It’s not entirely clear whether AT&T has specifically blocked access to the service, but regardless of the reason, we’re all too familiar with the carrier’s desire to keep video chat off the airwaves. We can only hope that we’ll be able to use Hangouts to its full potential soon, just as we can with Apple’s FaceTime.Filed under: Cameras, Wireless, Software, GoogleCommentsVia: SlashGear
