Google Hangouts website button

Question

Is it possible to add a Google Hangouts button to my business site that when clicked on initiates a call to me? I have a business website and I would like for anyone to be able to call be like the Skype button that you can embed on your website page does. Problem that I have is I went to https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button and read and then went to the Google API Console at https://code.google.com/apis/console/ and turned on the Google+ Hangouts API and then added my Google+ profile and my Project ID (app_id) and entered it into the html markup example(s) and embeded the code into my page and it does show the button, however, when the button is clicked, it launches the Google Hangouts program and asks to invites someone.

I need to this to actually start call me because the customer at my webpage, when they click the button and the Hangouts program launches, they are not going to know what to enter here. Needs to work like the Skype call button does and actually call me.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

I asked same question on: How to use Google Hangout / on Air as a "contact me" feature on a website and got an answer that the feature request is under process. The complete answer here:

Currently, there is no API call to provide this functionality. You can see the following feature request: https://code.google.com/p/google-plus-platform/issues/detail?id=678

The feature request was accepted on the 8th of December 2013 and knowing how feature requests tend to work, I'd expect it sometime between now and 2017.
