If you want to use more (advanced) features from Google-Hangouts web-service (aka: GH network, previously aka: GT network) then do this : TB includes basic web-browser (aka: lightweight web-browser), so a web-browser tab can be opened-up inside TB, and used to connect with Google-Hangouts web-service (aka: GH network) website directly, to send/receive IM messages with your any contacts-list/address-book.TB is created with C, C++, JavaScript, CSS, Rust, XUL, XBL. TB also supports instant messaging and chat using IRC, XMPP, Twitter, (Yahoo-Messenger, Skype, Facebook, etc 1), it can also function as News Client, Feed Reader, etc. But it supports only basic features: text chat. TB has builtin 1 ability/feat to connect with Google-Talk 1/Google-Hangouts 1 text messaging web-service (aka: network). SOLUTION (for Catalina & Mojave users) is, use THUNDERBIRD. Simple & trustworthy, and more uptodate, and more devs supported, and more user supported, etc based TB (since v?) has began to include GPG 1 tool, and from TB v78 (for Windows/Linux/Unix, & different version ? on macOS) it transitioned to use builtin OpenPGP 1, 2, 3, so separate GPG/PGP tool not needed anymore), so user/you can send+receive digitally signed and/or encrypted emails with it, for free. Thunderbird 1, 2 (TB) is a better alternative choice for some of those missing options. (See detail instruction & goto bottom side for more info, if you have time)ĮXTRA INFO, PLEASE SKIP READING BELOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME :Īpple has removed many other supports from many other Apple apps, and if you were depended on those, then

Another option is to use a HyperVisor 1 (aka: Virtualization 1) app (f.e.: VirtualBox) to run another/second instance of a macOS (f.e.: High-Sierra as a guest macOS), inside a guest virtual Mac computer/machine in the host macOS Mojave/Catalina/BigSur, and use the 'Messages.app' with GH network support/feature & other apps inside guest macOS, as specific feature necessary for user is missing(aka: not-present) in host macOS.(See detail instruction shown below for more info, if you have time) at this moment, i would suggest to use an alternative & trustworthy app that can connect with Google-Hangouts/GH/GT network, which is: Thunderbird app, it can connect with Google-Hangouts IM (instant-messaging) network (aka: web-service), or use your own choice of other app.Though its not a fully working solution, hopefully other users can collaborate & improve & find a complete solution. But user 'JBis' has shown at-least some partial way to copy specific files, settings, etc from older macOS to Mojave/Catalina.Google-Hangouts (aka: GH, aka: classic Hangouts, previously aka: Google-Talk, aka: GT) support was dropped from Mojave & Catalina, so 'Messages' app cannot use that web-service (aka: network) anymore normally, and a complete solution is not-found yet.
