Starting a hangout with a list of invited users

I have a website where some people are discussing with valid gmail identifiers. If one of them presses the google goout button in discussions, I need to start a video call with a list of users in the invited discussion, that is, I need to avoid the Add participant pop-up window that appears when the video call application is open. Is there any way to do this? I studied the documentation and I could not find an API to invite a member.

As far as I know (and more than I would like to fix), there is no way to initiate a video call with a set of participants. There is a bit of a hack using the calendar API, although you can create a calendar entry in the calendar set to automatically create video calls and invite everyone this way. I had an old blog post: http://www.riskcompletefailure.com/2012/11/programmatically-scheduling-hangouts.html

I think this is a new opportunity since the question was asked, but now you can create a video call button that launches a video call with a list of invited users (based on the G + profile ID, G + circle ID, or email address).

See https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/button#invite_parameters for more details.

Note. A list is just an offer to a person starting a video call. Before starting Hangouts, this user can skip the invitation or change the list of people.
