Google Hangout Screen Share does not work

Reported by andrew.r...@gmail.com, Oct 29 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Launch video Hangout
2. Click ...
3. Click Screen Share

What is the expected behavior?
Screen Share dialog/menu opens

What went wrong?
No response from browser. Screen sharing dialog/menu does not appear. This is a known bug from previous versions and apparently has been fixed or worked around multiple times, but continues to recur.

Did this work before? N/A

Using the command:
chromium-browser --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/34.0"
does not work, as this is detected as a deprecated browser by Google Hangouts, and redirects to a list of viable browsers.
