Sign in With a Different Account in Google Hangouts Chrome Extension
Google’s desktop apps, particularly Hangouts, don’t work well with multiple accounts. Hence, it can be difficult for you to log in with a fresh account or switch accounts in the Hangouts Chrome app. Below, we’ve mentioned two methods to get rid of this problem.
Method 1 (Sign Out, Sign in)
All you need to do is change the default account in your multi-account setup. You need to sign out of all Google accounts in your browser, then sign in with the one you want to use in Hangouts and install the extension.
Step 1- Sign Out Of All Google Accounts
Step 2- Choose Your Desired Account
Step 3- Install Hangouts Extension
Method 2 (Add New Profile to Use Multiple Hangouts Accounts)
The other option is to add a new profile to Chrome. You can then switch back and forth between profiles to use Hangouts with multiple accounts on your computer.
Step 1- Create a New Profile
Step 2- Sign in With Google Account
Step 3- Install Hangouts Extension
You’ll now have two different profiles in Google Chrome. You can use Hangouts with two different accounts in your browser by simply switching profiles. In fact, you can use both of them simultaneously. Similarly, you can add more profiles to use multiple Google accounts with Hangouts on your computer.
Wrapping Up- Use Multiple Accounts in Hangouts
These were two methods to sign in and use different Google account with Hangouts extension on PC. You can either change your default signed-in account or add a new Chrome profile to use multiple Hangouts account. Since I different Hangouts accounts for personal and work use, I prefer the second method to switch between both the accounts quickly.
