Google+ rolls out Premium features, including HD-quality Hangouts

Google has introduced Google+ ‘Premium’ communications features for customers which will create  increased appeal of its Apps services for enterprise and business users.

Apps customers have long been able to host Hangouts with up to 15 people, but now the sessions will be available in HD-quality — together Google believes that will “save time and money”.

Premium also enables more granular privacy controls, letting Google+ users set their posts as restricted to their domain (thus visible to colleagues and employers only) if they wish, or hide their profiles from public searches.

The new features are at the moment available to new Google Apps customers, but will be rolling out to existing customers from next month.
