Difference between types of hangouts
I really can't seem to find out the difference between all types of hangout types
gapi.hangout.render('placeholder-rr', {
'render': 'createhangout',
'hangout_type': 'normal',
'initial_apps': [{
'app_id': '12345',
'start_data': id,
'app_type': 'ROOM_APP'
});
gapi.hangout.render('placeholder-rr', {
'render': 'createhangout',
'hangout_type': 'onair',
'initial_apps': [{
'app_id': '12345',
'start_data': id,
'app_type': 'ROOM_APP'
});
gapi.hangout.render('placeholder-rr', {
'render': 'createhangout',
'hangout_type': 'party',
'initial_apps': [{
'app_id': '12345',
'start_data': id,
'app_type': 'ROOM_APP'
});
gapi.hangout.render('placeholder-rr', {
'render': 'createhangout',
'hangout_type': 'moderated',
'initial_apps': [{
'app_id': '12345',
'start_data': id,
'app_type': 'ROOM_APP'
});
I know about the "onair" type, but I don't know exactly what normal, party and moderated buttons will do ie will record video, where video is saved, etc.

According to the documentation, which no longer exists, but in the google cache , the hangout_type property means:
Determines what type of video call should be started. The following values are supported:
Normal (Default) Launch the Hangouts app without streaming to YouTube, or start a Hangouts party.
OnAir Start a video meeting that will be streamed to YouTube as a live video meeting.
party Start the Hangouts app as a Hangouts participant.
moderated Start Hangouts with Control Panel enabled.
