As I said in other comments sometimes on hipchat I need to have a call with teammates that I do not have on gmail/hangouts. So I need to create a hangout with a link to share so that I can copy it into hipchat and anybody can join it. There is no way to do that on gmail. You need to open google plus that takes a while to load, then you need to go to the bottom right corner and wait for the Start video chat button to appear and finally click it.
I was not aware that there was a link (https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_) that lets you create a hangout with a link to share so that other people can join it. So I created a simple landing page with a button created with google hangouts api. After learning about the link I mentioned before, I changed the google hangout button by a normal link.
