I tried the other way: https://flathub.org/apps/details/us.zoom.Zoom[1] I found the process a bit convoluted because I'd never used flatpaks before, but eventually got it to install. Particularly obscure was that after I'd followed the procedure at the link, I then had to run the installation in the shell which resulted in: *terry@OptiPlex*:*~*$ flatpak install zoom * ID Arch Branch Remote Download* ✓] org.freedesktop.Platform x86_64 19.08 flathub 224.2 MB / 238.2 MB ✓] org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.default x86_64 19.08 flathub 94.9 MB / 94.9 MB ✓] org.freedesktop.Platform.GL.nvidia-435-21 x86_64 1.4 flathub 103.3 MB / 103.3 MB ✓] org.freedesktop.Platform.Locale x86_64 19.08 flathub 16.7 kB / 318.2 MB ✓] org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264 x86_64 2.0 flathub 918.1 kB / 916.8 kB ✓] us.zoom.Zoom x86_64 stable flathub 72.7 MB / 72.7 MB *terry@OptiPlex*:*~*$ I was then left with a rather obscure launcher which is buried in /var/lib/flatpak/app/ us.zoom.Zoom/ (how bizarre!) which seems to be clickable. I then got a dialogue called 'Zoom Cloud Meetings' and choices of 'Join a Meeting' or 'Sign In'. I selected Sign In and created an account. Once I had logged in I was provided with a dialogue which will allow me to Setup a new meeting, Schedule a meeting, Join a meeting or Share the screen. So I obviously haven't actually set up any meetings yet, but everything seems to work OK, including the Camera and Audio settings. -- Terry Coles -------- [1] https://flathub.org/apps/details/us.zoom.Zoom -- 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
