Frequently asked questions

Do I need to register an account to use Hangoutio?

Not at all! You can create, join, and contribute to hangout as a guest user. You can create a guest account by only providing a name, username, and a password. However, guest accounts can only contribute to the hangout they were created for, don't have access to certain features, and are automatically deleted two months after a hangout is concluded.

What features would I gain access to if I signed up?

As a registered user, you get to keep a full history of all the hangouts you've been in, access multiple hangouts with the same account, and add friends, which you can then directly invite within the app.

How is my data handled if I were to register an account?

We only collect the bare minimum of data required to register your account, and it's stored securely in our database. You can learn more about this by reading our Privacy Policy.

What if I change my mind after creating an account?

You can always delete your account if you change your mind. Simply navigate to the account section, click the drop down menu next to your name, and select Delete Account to start the process. Doing so will remove all your personal details from our database.

Is Hangoutio free?

Yes! Hangoutio is completely free and is created as a passion project.

How do I invite friends to my hangout?

You just have to copy the hangout link once you're in then send it to your friends. If you and your friend are both registered users, you can add each other as friends and send invitations through the app.

Do I have to wait for the hangout to be concluded?
