Just use a VM or extra laptop. Client work and business in general is a combination of tradeoffs. Typically clients are coming to you to alleviate a stress in one category. Don’t add another layer.
- bArray 7y agoExactly, I have a few VMs ready to spin-up just for this kind of thing. People or companies always want you to run some random crapware which I will never run on my actual system. The other point here is also clearly security - one compromised client's crapware shouldn't compromise the rest.

That said, I already tried using zoom with a QEMU VM but I was never able to get the microphone jack to work. I should try again.
