Does Firefox work with Gooogle Hangouts/Meet/“whatever it’s called now”?

I know they were working on removing the need for plugins in other browsers. Ut last time I checked it was still a bit iffy.

This is what’s keeping Chrom(e|ium) installed on my machines right now. (I have a customer that uses it extensively).

If Hangouts works in Firefox I think I'll uninstall Chrome.

To answer my own question, yes Hangouts does work fine in Firefox. Not tried screen sharing yet but video calls work for me.

Nope. To expand my answer, only certain versions of Hangouts work with Firefox, sigh.
