Hangouts Moves to VP8
Google is converting their Hangouts plugin to use VP8 instead of H.264 as a first step in eventually moving Hangouts to use WebRTC. This is significant because it shows their commitment to VP8 and means that we can expect them to continue to push device manufacturers to include the free VP8 hardware encode/decode RTL for high-performance, low-power on mobile.
