Ever wanted to share video via Hangouts on Android, only to find out there's no way to actually send it directly through the chat app? Fret no more.

Google is rolling out an update to Hangouts for Android that finally lets you record and share video attachments, albeit limited to one minute. It only took three years.



iOS users have had the feature for about a month now, and could previously send short 10-second videos. It's nice to see Android phones – which, you know, actually come preloaded with Hangouts – finally catching up.

It's strange that it's taken so long to implement a fairly basic feature, but maybe that's because Google hasn't quite figured out how to establish Hangouts against growing competitors like Messenger and WhatsApp.
