Google recently updated its Hangout (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/18/google-plus-hangouts-keyboard-mute/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) chat client with the same remote desktop control (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/29/chrome-remote-desktop-out-of-beta/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) tech integrated into Chrome. This slick new feature gives you the option to take control of someone's computer (with their permission, of course) during a video call. If you often find yourself recruited to help friends and family members with technical issues, you'll definitely dig this. To begin a remote session, start a Hangout and click View More Apps > Add Apps > Hangouts Remote Desktop.
