Hangouts auto answering via hangups

[karamjaber]

Is there a way to auto-answer a hangouts video call with hangups ?

That's not really the way that Hangouts works, since multiple devices can join the same call. Even if hangups could "answer" it, it would just show a black screen and no audio to the other person.

You need to "answer" a call on the device that you want to show the video stream from.

Yes, This is exactly what i want to do. I have a device that runs hangups, and whenever he gets a video call i need it to answer this call automatically.

I don't know. I haven't investigated interacting with calls.

I have the same need.
