What technology do Google use for their Hangouts Screen Sharing?
I've searched for a million times about it. Is it WebRTC? I think no! If it is, Why don't I need to enable a certain settings in chrome://flags (in Google Chrome) for it to work?

its the same technology desktop sharing apps use. it basically uses javascript to capture the screen. can be done easily using webkit. try this http://ctrlq.org/code/19136-screenshots-javascript or http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:m3OhCr7C_xgJ:ctrlq.org/code/19136-screenshots-javascript+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=in&client=firefox-a – Tech Consultant Jul 10 '13 at 06:04

when that page says "Chrome privileges" that means its a chrome extension can do it, but a web page can't. – Tech Consultant Jul 10 '13 at 06:12

but google's screen sharing can capture the whole screen, not just a web page or a tab. – Chazz Jul 11 '13 at 06:15
