Using Google Hangout for demos

Recently a friend of mine tested Google Hangout as a tool for demoing software. Basically he used the capability of Hangout to stream live events  to Youtube in combination with the capability of sharing the screen of his  PC (or Mac, that's what I think he was using for his experiment).

So I decided to replicate this test using my Surface Pro 3 and IE.

Test 1

Test 2

So it works. It may be not the ideal tool but it's free. Once the video is on Youtube you can do some editing there adding a sound track like I did in the second test. The downside could be that somebody watch your live event before you do the editing. Small price to pay, don't you think?
