My (small) gaming group recently migrated from Skype to Hangouts for both in-game stuff (voice) and minor tech support (screen sharing).
The screen sharing is vastly superior compared to Skype, and text is actually readable (1080p screens on both ends), and I would assume that that translates to video calls as well!
For the in-game stuff the kicker was that one day my computer stopped getting notified of the group calls existing at all. But after the transition even the most reluctant one commented on how much nicer the sound quality was.
Of course, I'd have preferred to use Mumble where possible, but somehow I suspect that that would have been an even harder sell. :/
