Is it possible to use Zoom on Linux from an ordinary user without sudo rights?

  Use or install? I can run Zoom post installation without sudo.

    Use. The only way I'm willing to use it is from a dedicated user that has access to nothing else. I don't want it installed in the system.

  I just downloaded their binary build and it worked without sudo (you need to run "ZoomLauncher" file). That being said, I did not get the impression of an easy to use app that "just works" (at least with my tiling window manager), things were confusing, clunky and rather idiosyncratic (e.g. sharing a screen was weird, and the whiteboard did not work).

    Did you use it to talk to someone? I ran it too, but wanted to make sure it really works without being installed.

      Yeah, I used it for calls, did not install anything.
