Hi Clive, > we are being asked to go onto Zoom so w can use video linking with > various groups
Get one of them to give you a ‘meeting ID’ for a test run. > My question is:- Linux Mint 19.08 has it in the repository but > comments something about it being a wrapper only. As someone else mentioned, sorry, forget whom, it probably means it downloads their binary and packages that up using your system's package format so it sits nicely alongside everything else. It should be okay to try installing... > Does Zoom work and is there any problem with it please? Before installing the package, try using it from your web browser, again as someone else said on this thread. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362593-Launching-Zoom-from-a-web-browser If that's adequate for your needs then you won't have to install software. Modern web browsers can access cameras and microphones, popping up a window to ask permission at the time. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, post-lurgi 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
