True. But temporary: https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2017/02/google-hangouts....

Ironically that's being caused by WebRTC not having compatible enough implementations across all major browsers (and as an aside being disproportionally difficult to debug). Otherwise they would've just dropped the plugin and be done with it much earlier. Though I'm surprised they didn't act earlier.

The biggest WebRTC interop problem is due to Chrome declining to implement the "Unified Plan" for multiple streams ... a plan they agreed to implement when the spec was worked out. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=465349
