+0: {
+  "id": "<Hangout ID>",
+  "name": "A simple hangout",
+  "users": [
+    "Steve",
+    "Jo"
+  ]
+}
+```

+This may have more if the account is in multiple hangout conversations, for configuring the bot to be in a conversation you will need the ID that would be where `<Hangout ID>` is in that example. Make sure to use quotes around the conversation id or alias to escape special characters (`!`, and `#`) in YAML.
