Hangouts works very well for this now.  Well, Chromebox for Meetings (the business version of hangouts group chat) does.  It has hardware support for encoding&#x2F;decoding and generally does a much better job of it than just trying to use 1:1 hangouts via browsers.<p>That said, it&#x27;s still far inferior to any commercial videoconferencing product I&#x27;ve ever seen.  Literally, the only advantages are cost &amp; integration with other Google services (which is only an advantage if you&#x27;re already a Google Apps customer).
