[kwlug-disc] Videoconference testing -- please help

[Doug Moen]

Thanks, Paul. Zoom seems to be catching on with my crowd, so we've been using Zoom for social get-togethers. So far it only works for me on my mac laptop in the Chrome browser. It doesn't work for me in Firefox, but I have so many security- and privacy-protecting browser extensions loaded that it's not surprising, and I haven't actually tried to get it working on Linux.
