Its not atypical for Google to do this, for instance Google Hangouts is actually a licensed software deal and not something in-house (albeit not the greatest example).


I'm not really sure what this is referring to - did you mean the Vidyo codec deal (which was subsequently dropped in favor of VP8)?

No, but I can see why you would think I meant that. I didn't cite my sources, probably why I got downvoted a bunch; Racking my brain to remember that company's name but it essentially looked like a whitelabel version of hangouts (minus the google-y/material-design feel of the app).

I'll shut up now till I figure out the company I was thinking of.


What's the source platform for Google Hangouts? I would be interested using them internally for our video chat needs, a link would be useful to see their pricing.
