Chrome's screensharing status is incorrect #22

Closed ZephyrXero closed 10 years ago

ZephyrXero commented 10 years ago

Chrome and Chromium both have their "ready" status for screensharing marked as Green...but then, if you mouse over it you see a caveat that it requires an extension. Being that webRTC is all about being able to natively do teleconferencing in your browser without plugins, I think this should make them Yellow, at best.

I disagree. Users seem to accept installing these extensions (10kb in size) and the UX for this can be controlled via javascript. Which makes the chrome 34+ way a big improvement over the please-go-to-chrome-flags-and-enable-it-restart-your-browser-afterwards.

Besides, we're not going to get "native" screensharing until the security implications have been resolved and I don't see @juberti doing this any faster just because we make this yellow instead of green.

Changed back to yellow due to hangouts being whitelisted. If Google doesn't dogfood on the extension way, it obviously isn't ready.
