[kwlug-disc] Videoconference testing -- please help

[Sandeep Johri]

I did install the Zoom .deb package on my Debian (stable) desktop. 
Everything seemed to be working fine - however as I was setting up my 
profile I got the following message

[Uplevel Your Meetings with Zoom Pro
Your Zoom Basic plan has a *40-minute time limit *on meetings with 3 or 
more participants. Upgrade now to enjoy unlimited group meeting minutes.]

I'm guessing others have figured out how not to be restricted with this 
time limit (someone may have a pro account) - however thought I'd share.

Thanks

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.
