About the stream
The stream is the place to have meaningful conversations with the people you care about. It centralizes all the content shared by people who are in your circles. You might see text posts, pictures, videos, links, or location markers. When you share with people either individually or through a circle, your content will appear in their stream if you’re in their circles.
