My experience on Debian is that while the web client used to work in older versions of Firefox, the web client when tested at https://zoom.us/test now refuses to allow microphone access in the Debian version (68.5.0esr (64-bit)) of Firefox, and advises to use Google Chrome. If anyone can advise me how to make this version of Firefox work on current Debian buster or stretch, I will be grateful to be corrected. I've had to reluctantly install the Zoom client, preferring that compromise to installing Chrome. Also https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/214629443-Zoom-Web-Client says: """ **Joining computer audio on Firefox and Safari is only available for webinar attendees. """ I assume that a "webinar attendee" is distinct from a "meeting", according to their use of those words.
