Google + Hangouts and Note Taking
The people you are having your hangout with, will have a pop up on their screen that says you have added a document “Hangout notes” and ask them to use app if they want to participate with the shared notes.
From there, you have a document created that everyone participating in the hangout can contribute to.
Once in your drive, your hangout notes will show up labeled with the date and time of the hangout. They also remain a shared document between you and the other hangout participants.
