I had no idea there was even a web version. Does it work in Linux? Zoom often leaves me with broken audio and I really dislike having to have more rarely used software trying to stick around in memory. I uninstall it after each use, purely out of spite. This is great.

The web client has never for me on Ubuntu.

On Ubuntu + Firefox I can see other people, but I can’t hear anything, nor can they hear me (I don’t know if they can see me)

  I believe they recommend Chrome, so you might want to give that a try

    It's like we're back in the 90s again.

      Except now the webapp is real time video and voice chat

        The joke was (at least to the best of my knowledge) that nudging people to use chrome is further reinstating their monopoly, leading to a browser landscape comparable to IE days, which would not quite be the 90s, but close.

    Chromium should work too, no?

      Yes, zoom web view worked for me on Fedora with Chromium from the Fedora repo. As stated elsewhere, it doesn't show the same thumbnail/gallery view of non-speaking participants that you can get with the native client. I was able to share an application window, so there is some decent functionality. I don't know if that might vary with graphics stack, i.e. Intel vs NVIDIA and Wayland vs Xorg...

Couldn't get it to work on the latest FF Beta on Ubuntu 19.10 but the web client worked totally fine on Chromium.

Works great for me, Gentoo, 4.20 kernel, Xfce, Chrome and Firefox.

They only support Chrome, and you can only view one other person at the same time.

I don't know about linux but it works with Chromebooks. Since chromebooks are common in education and zoom is big in education, I'm sure they will keep that version going for a while. On a chromebook it asks you to download a chrome addon but it gives you a link to the web-only version too.
