Hi, folks,
After I did a complete reinstall of current 7, with KDE instead of minimal, I'm mostly ok... except for Zoom. Has anyone gotten sound working with firefox? I get video, but it keeps claiming that my browser (the default firefox) can't access the system sound.
Given that even as I type this, I'm streaming WUMB through its player.... I have noScript, but I enabled everything (except google-analytics), and no joy. I'd *really* rather use my browser than trust their app....

According to https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/214629443-Zoom-web-client#h_2da60a... you would be able to join without an extension with sound in chrome but not in firefox.

If you have any choice in the matter I would suggest a read of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_Video_Communications#Criticism before using or installing Zoom.

I can argue against zoom, and have, but organizations I belong to or join, like this past weekend's sf con, Heliosphere, are using it. I have a choice of using it, or not attending.
Thererore, no choice.

Over the last week or so there has suddenly been a huge take-up, and therefore focus on, Zoom.
Their previous behaviour is dire - including sneaking a web server into their Mac client to get around asking for permission, sending analytics to Faceboot, as well as claiming to have end-to-end encryption which they don't.
However, the current focus has caused them to address their issues, including changing their privacy policy. Their previous one basically said very little but did say that it collected unspecified data on us and passed it on to unspecified third parties - although they did not "sell" that data.
To be honest, I think they're now pretty much in line with FB / twitter / Insta / Google. I.e. I don't trust any of them, but we have little choice but to use them. All re can do is be sensible about it and apply the usual level of paranoia.
In answer to the OP, I have only ever used the App on my C7 system so have no ideal what it's like in Firefox / Chrome.

I was not able to use it with firefox in CentOS7. The client is working fine. I've downloaded the tar.gz (other linux) and installed it as a simple user, in the home directory, not used the rpm based install.

Yes, works fine here too on a CentOS7, installed from the repo/rpm.

I recommend installing Zoom as a flatpak:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/us.zoom.Zoom
It works well and is sandboxed to some extent at least.
I'm on Ubuntu and, no, it doesn't work.

I installed it the standard way on Zorin 15 (based on Ubuntu 18), and it worked well.

Just went to zoom this morning for my CentOS7 laptop, downloaded their rpm and did a localinstall and all worked just fine.

For those of you who are not aware, Zoom have issued an update to their app on all platforms.
I believe this is to fix a number of security issues so I strongly suggest everyone to upgrade. Older versions had a number of flaws in that area.

Another reason to favour the flatpak repo. Upgrades are pushed by the maintainers there in the same way as through your distro's repos.
Hi,
There were some "security issues" as detailed by our DSI. Personal data going to FB servers and some data going to other server located in china.... Not sure all has been disabled, almost for subscribed licenses. We are seriously discouraged to use it now (it was a suggested tool some weeks ago by the DSI) Just be careful with this tool, even if its deployment is easy if it works very fine.
