In a previous post about Google Hangouts, we planned to configure Hangouts so it would not save the history of conversations (chats). With the new version of Hangouts, it is not possible to change the default, so conversations will be saved. Google does not save video and audio, except when using a Hangout on Air.

You can locate saved chats in your mailbox by searching for “is:chats” — you can then delete them, if you prefer.
