Only if you are using a Mac. On linux, the zoom client is neither fast nor (in my admittedly slightly subjective opinion) nice.
- monsieurbanana 6y agoThat's an interesting anecdote, as I've only used zoom on linux, but not really related to what you quoted.
- arrayjumper 6y agoInteresting. I'm curious what machine spec you're on. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 on an dell laptop (XPS 7590 with an i9 processor, 32gb ram, discrete Nvidia graphics card). I see my processor spin up to 90% utilization whenever I do a zoom call.
- WolfRazu 6y agoZoom is Electron isn't it? That's not native.
- shp0ngle 6y agoNo, it's native. At least on Mac. edit: judging by `strings`, it's Objective C/Cocoa app on Mac. As native as it can be. No idea on Linux.
- Johan-bjareholt 6y agoIt's Electron on Linux and what's being discussed is that it's slow on Linux. Nobody refuted that it's slow on macOS, it was even stated.
- shp0ngle 6y agoI will need to check if you’re right. edit just judged on dependencies of the deb package, it looks like a native app. But, I will check the actual app. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/204206269-Installing-or-updating-Zoom-on-Linux?mobile_site=true#h_89c268b4-2a68-4e4c-882f-441e374b87cb https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/204206269-Installi...
