google hangouts shutdown

[mattlindsey]

WebsiteOne had integration with Google Hangouts, which has been shut down and replaced with Google Chat: https://blog.google/products/workspace/hangouts-to-chat/
There was a button to start a hangout from an Event and communication back to show status of the event in the website.

Google Chat does have an api, so we might be able to integrate that: https://developers.google.com/chat/api/reference/rest

Or Twitch? Or remove all the 'hangouts' code?

Note that settings.yml stored the app id:
hangouts:
app_id: <%= ENV['HANGOUTS_APP_ID'] %>
ssl_host: <%= ENV['SSL_HOST'] %>

There is a new Google Meet API that we could use:
https://developers.google.com/meet/live-sharing/guides/overview

Although there is only documentation for Java (android), so we might not be able to use it.
