Thomas In order to participate in the hangouts you need to be in the Guild Community on Google+ to receive the invitations. I've sent you an invitation on behalf of the Guild. It is a private community so it will not show up in search results. The hangouts are normally recorded but sometimes there are glitches as there were this month. You can find all the past recordings, where available, on the Guild's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/GuildOneNameStudies There are a few gaps. I seem to remember that there are a couple hangouts which had to be privatised because the presentations included information about living people so these will not be shown on the public channel. There are also a few occasions where the host forgot to press the record button. We are all human and these things do happen! There are also links to some of the hangouts on the Guild's Bulletin Board in a dedicated hangout thread: http://bb.one-name.org/ Once the Guild Wiki is up and running on the new website I will create a new page to list all the hangouts and embed all the videos. We have had some very helpful presentations in the hangouts some of which deserve a wider airing.

In Oct. I tried to view the Hangout. All I got was a flashing green screen and some audio. Later I could view, after it was over. In Nov. I tried to watch the hangout, all I get is a message that the Hangout was a "private" site. I give up with the Hangouts......
