@ewuplse01 is correct that even after installing python-pyxdg, the following occurs when attempting to start the chrome-remote-desktop service:
File "/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop", line 2576, in main
desktop.setup_audio(host.host_id, backoff_time)
File "/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop", line 1013, in setup_audio
xdg.BaseDirectory.get_runtime_dir(strict=False), runtime_dirname)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'xdg' has no attribute 'BaseDirectory'

Thanks @frealgagu for packaging this, @nightuser for the existing session patch and @Brinsky for the instructions.
I've compiled both instructions with screenshots and added it to my blog if anyone is having issues with the install. Otherwise, just follow the instructions in the comments by @Brinsky from 2019-12-06 13:58.

Here's how I got this working with the new web app (remotedesktop.google.com):
crd --setup
~/.chrome-remote-desktop-session
DISPLAY= /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host --code="<UNIQUE_CODE>" --redirect-url="<https://remotedesktop.google.com/_/oauthredirect>" --name=
crd --start
