I'd just asked today, "How to stop/control spam Hangout Chat invites"
As usual, if I check Peggy K's posts - she's probably answered my question.
Great info and guide Peggy. Thanks!

Control who can contact you through Google Hangouts

If you only want people you know to contact you through Hangouts, set it so that people with your Google Account email, phone number, or in a particular Google+ Circle can contact you directly, and no one else can send you an invite.

If you want anyone to easily converse with you on Hangouts, you can set it so everyone can start a Hangout conversation with you directly.

Or if you want something in-between, set it so that people must send you an invitation.

to change the settings:

1. Sign in to Hangouts at hangouts.google.com, the Chrome Hangouts Extension, Gmail, or in the mobile app.

2. Open the Settings

3. Select "Customize Invite Settings"

4. Select "Custom"

5. Set who can contact you or invite you:
> If they have your Google account phone number
> If they have your Google account email address
> If they are in a particular Google+ Circle
> Everyone else

  2. MicheleElys MER I use them everyday at my online school. Fabulous for individual teaching sessions.
    I am well. Have one more surgery on the 25th and I hope I'm through for a while. Really weary of doctors. :)

    I am looking forward to the arrival of my Poppies. I really like that watercolor.

    Horses doing fine? Hope so, and you too. Hope your well and happy.

  3. Sheila Hensley I do hope this surgery goes according to your wishes; they are never easy to recover from, no matter what kind of shape you are in.

    You are in my thoughts and heart

    the Poppies are wonderful, full of colour, one always must have colour about them, it speaks of joy!!

    I now have one Arabian, KlassicAmir for 19 years now. He is doing pretty well and misses his life long partner SriZhada who's sudden death on April 18th shocked all of us.
    If you are interested, I did write a little story micheleelys.com - Death Never Takes A Holiday!

    I have mended more easily than Klassic and he will be fine.

    Please tell me about your online school; you are always full of surprises

    Very nice hearing from you, you are always poised and considerate. Cheer
