    Is that more secure? Snaps seem to be shit for performance, so I avoid them by default, but maybe I should be favouring them when I have security concerns.

      By default (without -—classic) on install) they run in a chroot. Makes saving files sent to you a hassle as it can’t write to your downloads directory.

      Not really. https://github.com/ogra1/zoom-snap/blob/065831f1e83c1230810a6baa439b69bd9a753ee3/snap/snapcraft.yaml#L37 https://github.com/ogra1/zoom-snap/blob/065831f1e83c1230810a... It has the "home" permissions which means it can write "sudo pwn" into your ~/.bashrc, which will of course pwn you.

  I just decline Zoom meetings while politely saying “our cyber security division does not allow us to use Zoom.” Then send an alternative invitation. So far it seems to work just fine.

    What do you recommend to use instead?

      Jitsi Meet.

    Doesn't work so well when your security team are the ones mandating you use zoom.

  FWIW it's possible to run Zoom in a web browser, but they make it annoying. https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/20/psa-yes-you-can-join-a-zoom-meeting-in-the-browser/ https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/20/psa-yes-you-can-join-a-zoo...

    Yep. I run it in web browser in separate user account made for that purpose.
