WebRTC and HD support coming to Hangouts

• devx 13y ago
  They're months away from finalizing the VP9 streaming protocol. Please don't tell me we'll have to wait 2+ years before they implement VP9. I would think they'd benefit greatly from cutting the bandwidth in half, especially for a heavy multi-user video-chat service like Hangouts.

    They mention Q4 this year for VP9 in WebRTC, though that will probably be limited to Chrome to Chrome connections till uptake increases. What makes you think it would take 2+ years?

  How would this theoretically work w/ Chromecast? Camera from existing port, new Chromecast model, or just use your laptop cam?
