[Nottingham] [Misc] Zoom on Linux

Folks,

Unfortunately, we can't easily get away from Zoom for virtual conferences.

My experience of using Firefox for a Zoom meeting is that the Zoom 
servers refuse to connect any audio. (What of html5 and standards??)

Hence, there is the untrusted 'app'...


See:

Anyone with experience of Zoom locked in firejail?

Or does such nefarious-ware require a sacrificial virtual machine for 
any virtual meeting??


(Hopefully our group security expert can comment? ;-) :-) )

Cheers,
Martin
