Google Hangouts Stuck and Unable to Sign in
Solution 1:
Solved it!
Go into Privacy in Google Chrome's settings. Clear your browser data. It looks like it had cached the wrong authentication key for me.
Solution 2:
Sometimes you need to reset Synced Data
https://www.google.com/settings/chrome/sync
click Reset Sync Data at the bottom.
Note: You will lose synced data, unless that data is currently on your computer(you didn't clear history)
Solution 3:
I had this same problem, however clearing cache did not solve it for me. Here's what I had to do,
- Open a Chrome browser.
- In the top right next to the minimize button, you should see a small box with your name in it. If you see a yellow caution flag, then you need to sign in again. This fixed my problem.
I see that this is a common issue, but not many people seem to know how to solve it, including Google. Or at least they're not being very generous with this knowledge. I digress, hope this helps!
Solution 4:
Go to admin.google.com:
Apps > Google Apps > Google Talk/Hangouts > Advanced Settings
- Hangouts chat only
- Hangouts chat or Google Talk
- Google Talk only
Choose the first or second option. Google Talk is only for chatting inside Gmail and such. Hangouts on the other hand offers the web app, as well as mobile.
