This indicates an attempt to connect to Google Hangouts.
Google Hangouts is an instant messaging and video chat platform developed by Google. It replaces Google's old communication platform which includes Google Talk, Google+ Messenger and Hangouts. The application can be accessed through Gmail, Google+ or mobile apps. It no longer uses the XMPP protocol, thus disabling communication if one party decides to use Hangouts and the other decides to use Talk.
