Google Hangouts relies on your devices internet connection to send and receive messages. When your connection is compromised because of weak or fluctuating signal strength, it causes a frustratingly slow or laggy Google Hangouts session. Sometimes the problem can be caused by something as random as someone using the microwave, which operates on similar frequencies and can temporarily disrupt your wifi signal.
