Hangout on Air App - google-plus

I was trying to create a hangout app, and connect it to my youtube channel.I have created the app but unable to connect it to youtube channel. How can i do so. Is there any way to create a "Hangout On Air" app.

Hangouts apps work for both standard hangouts and on-air hangouts. If you have an app for Hangouts, then you just need to start an On-Air Hangout instead and start your app. Then, the Youtube broadcast and post-event archiving is built in.
Examples here (https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button) show how to make a button on your website to start either a standard hangout or on-air hangout, and automatically start your app. Although, at the moment, the automatic app starting for on-air seems to be broken (Were Hangouts On Air example buttons recently broken?).

You dont need to write a hangout app to connect to your youtube channel. By default if you start a Hangout on Air, the video will stream live through your youtube account. Use the below code to start a HoA.
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js" async defer></script>
<div id="placeholder-div4"></div>
<script>
gapi.hangout.render('placeholder-div4', {
'topic': 'hats',
'render': 'createhangout',
'hangout_type': 'onair',
'initial_apps': [{'app_id' : '184219133185', 'start_data' : 'dQw4w9WgXcQ', 'app_type' : 'ROOM_APP' }],
});
more details : https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button
If you want to get the youtube url and stream the same in your website, watch the tutorial below.

Youtube live chat embed not working in mobile

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="500" src="https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=XX71LoT8AME&embed_domain=localhost" width="480"></iframe>
This is the Iframe code for the youtube live chat embed.
It works fine in desktop view but return a javascript error in mobile view and no content is shown
Official YouTube documentation
Embed Live chat
Note: embedding live chat isn't available on mobile
web.
During a live stream, you can embed live chat on your own site by
using an iframe.
Get the video ID for the live stream. You can get the video ID from
the watch page URL (youtube.com/watch?v=12345). In this case, the
video ID is ‘12345’. If you chose "Stream now," right-click on the
player and select Copy video URL to get the video URL.
Get the domain
URL for the site you want to embed chat on. If you're embedding chat
on www.example.com/youtube_chat, your embedding domain is
"www.example.com."
Combine the embedded URL in the following way:
https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?v=12345&embed_domain=www.example.com.
This is the URL for your iframe. Note the embed_domain must match the
the URL of the page you’re embedding the chat on. If they are
different, the embedded chat will not load.
We just wanted to embed the youtube chat and found this on Google Support.
Unfortunately, Youtube chat embed isn’t available on mobile web according to google: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2524549?hl=en
Take care,

Create Hangout on Air and make it available for given google domain
Record it™
Publish on YouTube as an unlisted video
Retrieve the link
Per this and this question, I can see it's possible to render the button into webpage, but I'd like to get it started automatically.
Is there a way to do that via an API?

I'm developing a Windows Phone App and I want to play Vimeo video in the App. But I have an issue, Windows Phone Apps can't embed player, so player will open in browser. I don't like that it opens external app, I would like that users stay in my app.
How can I get direct link for playing Vimeo video in my own video player?
I got email from Vimeo support.

Google hangout button on iphone

The new google hangout button enables to embed hangouts on websites, but it is not supported by iphone .
Google + iphone app enables hangouts with iphone devices.
Is there a way to use a hangout on iphone with the hangout button?
At this time you cannot launch hangouts on mobile devices using the hangout button.
Mobile devices can only use hangouts from the native mobile applications.
I believe that you could load it via a UIWebView loaded on a users's page or just loaded on a specific page design of yours including your hangout button?
