Hello all,

Basically: log out of *all* your google accounts (best would be to open
up  new browser). *Then* log into yourname@gmail.com (*not*
yourname@yourinstitute.edu), *before* you create or try to enter the
hangout. First person in the hangout sets the ownership to their
institution (google which makes it public or yourinstitute which makes
it private and that gives you all the trouble we are seeing). Just
having the correct one be the "active" one is sadly not enough.

Since I had this same issue myself quite a lot in the past I ended up
actually running two browsers: one logged into gmail.com (Firefox) and
one logged into rhaas@illinois.edu (eg Chrome).

This seems like an very bad issue with Google's multi-account handling.

Yours,
Roland
