Record and Send GIFs on Hangouts with GIF Recorder

If pictures are worth a thousand words, then video is virtually priceless. The concept of motion and the addition of another dimension to static images adds life to them and expresses so much more. But videos are complicated to handle and require much more code, which is impractical when just a few seconds need to be conveyed. Enter GIFs. Quick, easy and relatively small, this image format has become widely popular recently and both Google+ as well as Hangouts possess full GIF support. However, GIFs aren’t as easy to compose as images or video, and this poses a significant problem.

However, XDA Forum Member donniemceduns has a solution for this predicament in the form of Hangouts GIF Recorder, which allows you to compose GIFs just like you would with normal photographs – point the devices camera and then keep the button clicked. The app has a no-hassles air to it, presenting a simple and uncomplicated interface, the primary interface being a viewfinder and control buttons that morph to action buttons when the GIF is captured.

Head over to the Hangouts GIF Recorder application thread to get started with capturing GIFs easily. Despite the name, the app allows you to share captured GIFs with other apps too.
