I'm not sure what you mean by "runs an app for all users", Are you writing a separate app that you want the hangout to automatically open on entry? Doesn't it make more sense to do this the other way around?

The app runs within Google Hangouts (like drive, chat, youtube, effects) which is part of the draw of using that platform.

Of course it does, but reality in this case does not appear to make sense. :-(

Adding apps to permanent Google Hangouts works for me - shouldn't we revisit this option?

Possibly. I know it used to be possible and the capability was lost in a change, so maybe they changed it back while I wasn't looking. I also got a PM recently noting that lightirc supports webcams; that might be an even better option since it would give us server control.

I'm busy being sick right now, but I'll take a new look at things once I'm functional again.
