Bug Description

We should be able to work properly with webrtc. Instead I got presented the unsupported page listing chrome, firefox and safari

[Manual test case]
1) Browse to https://hangouts.google.com/
2) Click/tap the "Video Call" button
3) Verify that a new hangout is created, and that both audio and video work (if a camera is available)

On arale, after jumping hoops to login, it seems to try to redirect to the normal start page but all I see if a green quotes bubble. Seems the page is not rendered properly.

Needs more thorough testing, but I got it working on desktop and frieza with the following UA overrides added to ua-overrides-desktop.js:

I am able to create a new video call. I don’t have a builtin webcam, but I verified that audio input works with my builtin microphone.
