Still no linux support for video and now no linux support for screen sharing. Here's to hoping Google ramps up whatever Slack competitor they're trying to roll hangouts into.
I see mentions of Screen Hero in a way that makes it sound like it's dead, but my team still uses SH daily (via Slack's `/hero` command). It's easily the best _remote pairing_ tool that I've found. This new Slack feature seems like something different, for presenting content to everyone on a call, not for collaborating on code.

Just give someone a url and you can start chatting with them. No plugins, no logins, all WebRTC. It seems to try to load some flash, but it looks optional.

Lack of Linux support is the only thing preventing our organization from ditching hangouts.
