Hello all
That button on the side is primarily used for camera actions but unfortunately
cannot be directly mapped easily to 3rd party app functions. We will be
integrating it further into our own apps, but for something like Hangouts, you
need to activate the notification from the lock screen. This is the same with
Facebook notifications etc. Very similar to what you do on your iPhones and
smartphones in general. One tip is that you can jump to the notification
quickly if you hear the hangouts calling sound by simply typing H and you will
jump to the hangouts notification.
I am often monitoring this and other lists and we appreciate your feedback.
The BrailleNote Touch continues to evolve and is, in many ways still in its
infancy, being the first and only google certified braille tablet. We lay the
groundwork for future updates this summer with a new updating mechanism along
with other features that will be available in version 4.0.

You might have to unlock the Touch, and the dialog for answering should be
there, over everything else. If now, the answer button may be on the lock
screen when you get a call. It’s rather sad: I rarely find a use for that
button on the side.

Morning all,-------------------------------
I just had the most amazing experience! I got a call on Google
Hangouts, and I was able to respond. I had to call my party back
because I couldn't figure out how to answer the call from where the
Touch was. It was locked, and I didn't recognize the sound. How does
one answer a hangouts call? Do you use that funny button on the right
side of the Touch?
Anyway, it worked just fine, good audio, no problems, but it said
video call. How can I make a video call when the dingdong camera is
on the back of the Touch? Ees a puzzlement.
