In the past I’ve spoken about [how to stream an event using Google Hangout](http://wpmedia.pro/hanging-out-with-google/?ref=jasontucker.blog "Hanging out with Google") and I’ve talked about the [tools and techniques be successful at capturing an event and streaming it](http://wpmedia.pro/want-to-be-amazing-at-recording-live-events-heres-the-first-steps/?ref=jasontucker.blog "Want to be amazing at recording live events? Here’s the first steps") and I’ve discussed how you should put your new found skills to the test and [help a local meetup stream their event](http://wpmedia.pro/learn-to-be-a-media-master-by-donating-your-time/?ref=jasontucker.blog "Learn to be a media master by donating your time") by donating your time.

## More pixels means sharper video

Google recently added HD video to their hangouts and Google Hangout On Air (their live streaming component). Here is an older video and a video I recently recorded from the [OCWP WordPress meetup group](http://ocwp.org/?ref=jasontucker.blog)

### SD Video

### HD Video

## Cleaner video podcasts

This upgrade to HD has helped with our [WPwatercooler](http://www.wpwatercooler.com/?ref=jasontucker.blog) video podcast as well. The video is sharper, the sound is clearer and the level of detail has increased.

### HD Video

If you haven’t tried Google Hangouts yet due to them being published in SD now is your chance to come back and try out their HD offering.
