Yes, as you say the problem is not NTLM itself. And since you have been
using it successfully for so long probably not Squid either.
You should herefore take this up with the Hangout software help
channels, not the Squid ones.

And no, encoding does not matter to Squid unless you have an old Squid
which is still version 3.1 or older (HTTP/1.0 features) and Hangout
requiring HTTP/1.1 features for the stream. The solution there should be
obvious.
