Chrome users no longer need Hangouts video plugin
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
Following this update, when users try to start a video call for the first time, they’ll see a message underneath the address bar asking for permission to access their computer’s mic and camera. If they want to change their choice later, they can change it from the address bar in Chrome.
We recommend users familiarize themselves with this change before seeing the prompt.
