[Nottingham] [Misc] Zoom on Linux

[Nic Deane]

Hi all,

I, too, am learning to run Zoom on Linux. My meetings seem to run O.K.  
although maybe some of the Host controls seem slightly different to the 
Zoom Howto's videos. The only problem I am finding is that I can't seem 
to Copy and Paste into Chat for some reason. I've tried asking Support 
without much success so far.

Thanks for this thread.
