Cindy,
I use the Google hangouts app on my i'phone, and it's pretty 
accessible, aside from a few unlabeled buttons.  You'll receive 
message notifications, be able to video chat, and make calls.  
Hangouts chatting also works on the braillenote if you have one.
Hope this helps

Subject: [nabs-l] Gmail and Google Hangouts

Hi,

I use Windows and am interested to hear peoples' preferred method 
of
using Hangouts.  I am still having some trouble with using it as 
I
still prefer the basic html view of mail, and I have to go to a
separate page to use Hangouts rather than view my mail and chat
conversations at the same time.  I also have multiple Gmail 
accounts
and switch back and forth pretty regularly.  I cannot be logged 
in to
multiple accounts with the basic HTML view, so I am also curious 
to
hear from anyone who uses the standard view for Gmail and 
recommends I
begin using that view instead.  I use JAWS and NVDA, and I have 
an
iPhone so was also considering setting up Hangouts there and 
seeing if
I could get notifications similar to a text when I receive a chat
message.

Most people in my graduate program talk on chat via Google 
Hangouts
all day including takling about projects and scheduling meetings, 
and
I would like to be more a part of these conversations.

Thanks,
