I did this as described and the picture I uploaded is displayed on the contacts page, however on hangouts on my computer and on my phone, it still just shows a big color circle with initial. How can I get the picture to display on hangouts?

For picture to display in Hangouts, they themselves need to add their photo 📸 in Google+ profile attached to their @gmail account.
It can be set if anyone has your email it can autofill your phone number, company, and job title automatic. So when you change positions it’s always up to date.
