if you've managed to make it thru an entire meeting without crashing or freezing system w/ 100% cpu on linux you're doing better than me.



I don't get crashing except when I go to share a window and then cancel it without sharing anything.

The biggest problem for me is having multicolored noise covering most of the Zoom windows/controls when I'm sharing a window.

Also, it takes like ten seconds to share or stop sharing a window.


Yes the best way to detect if zoom is up to no good on Linux is to listen to my fan or check if my battery is draining unusually fast. Same for Discord.


Why do people use the zoom app on linux? It works fine in the browser, where it is forced to behave itself.


Idk, does the browser do screen sharing now? It didn't last time I used it but I haven't for a minute so I'm not sure if they fixed that.

I have a wrapper script that installs, starts the meeting then uninstalls because unfortunately people use it and sometimes I need to contact them.


Virtual background doesn't work in the browser.


Gallery view doesn't work in Firefox the last time I checked.
