Personally, I'm not feeling comfortable using Zoom on my PC. Just the other day, when opening the app, I was given a warning that the security certificate was untrusted and I would need to trust the certificate to proceed.
I tried updating the app and the same error occurred. Perhaps their cert had expired or it was some oversight but I'm done. I've removed Zoom.
- RandomBacon 6y agoI only have it installed on a spare laptop that I leave off unless I'm doing a meeting. 100% do not trust.
- dhosek 6y agoI only use it on my iPad. It's not getting anywhere near a non-locked down system.
- kevincox 6y agoYou can join most meeting from your browser. They employ multiple dark patterns to discourage this. Once you click the link it pops up a page that says it is launching the app. After a couple of seconds they give you another link to try again. If you click that it then shows a tiny link to view from your browser. Then you need to solve a captcha but then you are in and everything works well. I'm fearful that I'm being paranoid but if they want to use their native app that badly I'm pretty sure it is collecting some information that I don't want to share. I'll happily take the extra steps to keep them sandboxed in my browser. Honestly this is one of my favourite features of Google Meet and Jisti Meet. It is so easy to send a link to anyone and they are in the meeting in seconds.

I mean, Zoom's atrocious security record aside, mistakes do happen. Microsoft recently forgot to renew some certs for Teams that caused a lot of trouble.
