Hangouts is also smart enough to keep up with these conversations across all devices, so you should see these SMS threads on mobile and desktop. Since installing the Google Hangouts extension on my Chrome account (on my own laptop), she now gets my Hangouts popups on her computer when using Chrome under her username. From here, you can send both regular SMS messages or MMS (multimedia). I sometimes use it with my Chrome username. Click on that, choose a phone number to send to, and Hangouts will open a new conversation window with that contact to start an SMS thread. If they have a phone number attached to their name, you should see an option for “SMS” at the top of the conversation box, up next to the Video, Call, and People icons. Open your list of contacts in either Gmail or the Hangouts extension and start a new conversation with someone. It’s pretty simple to do really, again, as long as you have a Google Voice number attached to Hangouts. If you have a Google Voice number that has now been associated with Hangouts, you can choose to send an SMS to contacts, assuming you have attached a number to their contact information.
