why Google hangouts support sharing desktop without Chrome Extension in lastet Chrome?
As far as I know, in browser, such as Chrome
Sharing desktop or application need Chrome Extension to work, eg:
chrome.permissions.request({
permissions: ['desktopCapture'],
}
But !! why Google hangouts do not need any extension to capture desktop ?
Is there api of javascript for this ?
I searched on Google, Mozilla MDN, blogs..., but found nothing on this, need your help, thks!!

Google whitelists API access for its own stuff. It's convenient to be a browser developer.

webRTC stuff in latest versions of chrome is avoid a install extension for screensharing too, but earlier it was nessusary. Hangouts are use webRTC. May be it related.

As of now, Google Hangouts does use an extension, it's just integrated into Chrome to the point of not being visible.
Source: Chromium issue to remove this special treatment
You can test that it is (stealthily) installed by manually opening
chrome-extension://nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome/background.html
At the same time, work is ongoing to support WebRTC spec for screen sharing (getDisplayMedia) in Chrome. It's not yet enabled by default in released Chrome versions, but will be very soon (code is already in the codebase).
Implementation tracking: Chromium issue
