Zoom has a not very well published chrome app (intended for chromebook users). You can install it in normal chrome and it gives you a much better experience than the web version without all the issues of the desktop app. I trust zoom a lot more when it is running inside a chrome sandbox than as a native app.

I use this because I have a pixelbook and it works pretty well except for two issues: (1) minor issue that you have to click the "leave meeting" button, you can't just close the window or else it strangely relaunches and (2) major issue is that you can't change your video background which is a killer feature IMO.

  I haven't been able to find a way to change my video background on the Linux client either. The image recognition software must be difficult to reliably implement for their lower-value platforms (as in, it would cost them too much to get it working well relative to the number of users).

    Works for me on Linux, after signing in (I'm using a paid plan).

I've found the same. Link is https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zoom/hmbjbjdpkobdjplfobhljndfdfdipjhg https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zoom/hmbjbjdpkobdj... I haven't audited the files yet to see what technology they use (e.g. why is the web experience shit, but the Chrome App is OK), but I certainly trust Zoom a lot more in a sandbox.
