Just bear in mind that while HW acceleration can usually be fine for regular video content, it's usually abysmal for anything related to realtime video. Encoders and decoders have bad latency, bad feedback and don't always obey the encoding parameters that are requested. And nowadays, most people will do a lot more video conferencing on their computer, so it's very important to vet each driver or hardware for quality before enabling it in a browser.
It's something very tricky and it doesn't help that HW vendors rarely focus on RTC scenarios, so they sometimes end up shipping broken HW to their customers, that can't be worked around in software.
