Use these tips to take your Hangouts conversations to the next level. Then, as if one pony couldn’t possibly be enough, type /ponystream to see a whole herd of ponies.

Start by trying a regular six-sided die. Type /roll into the chat. A message opens for both you and the people you’re chatting with that lets everyone know that you rolled and what the result was. You can get more creative, too. Use /roll3d6 to simulate rolling three six-sided dice. Just like before, you’ll see the result in chat. To roll a twenty-sided die, type /roll1d20. It’ll work just like you’d expect. This does get kind of weird at a point, though. It looks like Google didn’t restrict the dice to physically possible types of dice. Roll /roll1d3. It still works.
