It was back in August that we found out about Google Helpouts. It’s a new way for people to get help via Hangouts on a variety of topics such as repairs, cooking, photography, technology, and so on. We are talking real people helping real people over video. Well Helpouts was officially launched by Google today.
You have the power of choosing from whom you want to get help from based on their qualifications, availability, price, ratings, reviews. This isn’t like calling technical support at HP and getting any random person. You have the power to choose and it’s over video. You will even be able to record your session or share your desktop if necessary. And if you are unsatisfied, there is a full money back guarantee.
For now, you will only find a few categories, but over time they will increase, as well as the amount of “helpers.” You will even find top brands like Sephora, One Medical, Weight Watchers, Redbeacon, and Rosetta Stone.
Helpouts seems more suited for desktop use, but Google did release an app in the Play Store. We have download links along with a quick demo video after the break.
