You don't have to use video on Zoom - you can have an image, or even just your username on screen, and still chat through audio. 3 hours ago, Macscrooge said: Oh, and for what it’s worth I have a fair bit of experience hosting Zoom sessions for up to 50(!) people. And a paid Zoom licence.... This is a good point - I'm sure @Six-cylinder knows already, but 'free' Zoom meetings are limited in both time and attendance. Anyhoo, I'm in. Assuming I don't fall asleep after I finish work, which happens worryingly often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having taken part in a couple of zoom sessions I can say that the most annoying thing about them is being cut off at the time limit (1hr?) which I’m guessing you don’t have if you pay the subscription?

Assuming your audio and video are operational, then yes, Zoom will operate on an Ubuntu machine. It definitely works through browser, and I think there is a .tar installer for it, although my experience of installing that way is very limited. Gnu/Linux has now got to the point you don't need to email someone in Finland with more dots in their email address than there are M&Ms in a packet to be able to get software to work, hence I can now use it.

I've never used it. Do you use Android? Get Droidcam, it turns your phone into a webcam. You install the app on the phone and the client on the PC and you can run it through USB debugging mode or just over wifi. I've used it before and it works like a charm due to phones generally having much better cameras than shitey cheap webcams. Ghosty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy enough though: CONTROL-ALT-T to open a terminal wget https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_amd64.deb sudo apt install ./zoom_amd64.deb (enter your password when prompted) You should then be sorted, feel free to give me a shout if not. tooSavvy and Ghosty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cord Fourteener Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 7:30 is a slightly awkward time for me, but I think as my wife it doing yoga tonight during the kids bed time maybe I can get Wednesday even off.
