this seems like overkill to avoid installing a critical piece of work software like video chat

• giancarlostoro 4y ago
  It's not necessarily that critical if your company doesn't directly use it, and it's only used by third party vendors you sometimes interface with.

  Not the op, but... The video chat my company uses is indeed a critical work software. The 27 other obscure video chats that people around the world use, though, are not. And they all want to dig their claws into your registry and drive and startup. And then flash incomprehensible error messages on reboot. And constantly run in background and uodate and ask for ever more permissions.

    100% this. We used Google Meet. I had no interest in installing any apps for meetings with external parties.

  I don't think it's overkill. I have a whole VM that I use for the sole purpose of not installing my label printer software on my host machine.

  zoom is on my 10-foot pole list. I won't install it on my machines. The sandbox is a good alternative to the browser version.
