There is no way to start a video Hangouts call. The closest you can do is open up a conversation with the person via an Intent.

Intent to open conversation

Source to show feature doesn't currently exist

You may would like to try AppRTC

Getting Room ID

roomConnectionParameters = new RoomConnectionParameters(roomUri.toString(), roomId, loopback);

Setting Fragment Call

callFragment.setArguments(intent.getExtras());
FragmentTransaction ft = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
ft.add(R.id.call_fragment_container, callFragment);
ft.add(R.id.hud_fragment_container, hudFragment);
ft.commit();

Connecting to Peer

peerConnectionClient = PeerConnectionClient.getInstance();
    if (loopback) {
      PeerConnectionFactory.Options options = new PeerConnectionFactory.Options();
      options.networkIgnoreMask = 0;
      peerConnectionClient.setPeerConnectionFactoryOptions(options);
}

I believe the Google Hangouts API will no longer be available soon. See here for details: https://developers.google.com/+/hangouts/support-faq

As an alternative, Vidyo.io provides mobile SDK support for Android to build a multiparty video chat app. Check out this howto video that steps through building a video chat app in Android Studio.

Full disclosure: I work for Vidyo.
