.hangout domain extension

.hangout is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) operated by Charleston Road Registry Inc., a subsidiary of Google. The TLD is intended for use with Google's Hangouts communication platform, though it is available for general registration. There are no specific eligibility restrictions beyond standard ICANN requirements. The registry is managed through Google's registry services at registry.google. Delegated in January 2015, .hangout joined Google's portfolio of brand-oriented TLDs like .google and .youtube, all aimed at creating dedicated online spaces for its services.
