Google+ Introduces New Hangouts App Called Capture, To Snap Pics Of Special Moments As They Happen

Today, Google introduced a new app for one of its most popular products, Hangouts. While Hangouts let you chat with multiple people over video, there are those moments when someone makes a funny face, does something ridiculous or just makes you want to, well, capture something.
