This is interesting. I see that my Firefox is set to "Block websites from automatically playing sound". I hadn't realized that, because if I play a YouTube video or movie trailer in Firefox, I get the sound just fine anyway. That's confusing, but I'll try changing that permission this afternoon and see if it works. Thanks again. ________________________________________ From: Carl Fink <ca...@panix.com> Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2020 7:09 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: using Webex from Stretch On 4/9/20 2:37 AM, deloptes wrote: > Kleene, Steven (kleenesj) wrote: > >> I was given two options.

In Webex you can also have the meeting call you, which is what I do when I must use my phone. Generally I use computer audio, and give Firefox permission to use it (and my camera if desired). -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
