I'm using gnome on Manjaro and I have the same issue. It seems to be a Wayland problem. I logout from wayland session and start a Xorg session and the hangout works.

This is for the KDE Plasma Wayland guys, as I was suffering from the same problem.

Just while signing in, for Arch Linux guys on KDE plasma switch to Plasma X11 instead of Plasma Wayland.

If there then also this doesn't happen install these:

pipewire
xorg-destop-kde
Kwin

Reboot

And while signing in again with KDE X11 this problem might get away.
