I upgraded my laptop to chimaera yesterday.

Audio works fine.
However, not video.
The panels where I usually see other people, including the main panel,
are just black

Hi,
I'm on Devuan Beowulf, running lightdm, openbox and lxpanel.
I don't run pulseaudio, I just use ALSA for sound.
Firefox sound works for showing videos etc. I have set mixer values so that
I can record
arecord -vvv -f dat -d 4 /tmp/a.wav
and it plays back. So speakers and microphone

I've been relying on zoom on a laptop runnding debian. But there's a
problem with it and I want to install zoom on beowulf 3.
But there's no zoom in the beowulf repository. Do I have to download
debian's zoom .deb?
