Does this work in other browsers? Possibly NaCl based.

According to [1] it's something that broke recently. I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong yet.

As mentioned in my bug details and also stated in [1] it's working with Chrome browser - unfortunately no longer w/ Chromium.

Posted a followup here: https://crbug.com/829916#c16 -- It's an issue in Meet that thinks no Chromium browser ships the hangout extension.

I'll add a workaround to our package, but I'm hoping it'll be properly fixed in Meet soon.
