Hangouts supports WebRTC video in Firefox now, four years after supporting WebRTC in Chrome (2014-2018).

I've maintained a timeline of Hangouts' WebRTC support (as part of my work to track the sunsetting of NPAPI plugins, other than Flash, in Firefox that blocked Win64):

The chat or the video? The video hasn't worked in long time now.

I haven't tried Firefox, but Hangouts with video works in Safari for me.

I had to bookmark a Hangouts room URL though, which I think I opened from within GMail some time ago. If I try to just load hangouts.google.com, it won't work.

Video, although I don't have a camera (the host does, though).
