Thanks for the pointers. Jitsi may be useful later. Meanwhile a colleague who has been using lt-ubuntu is helping (remotely) get that set up ... It's currently working including perfect audio output without fedora's hassles, but not yet with ctwm. Still trying to undo some of the mess left by trying other things in different partitions, including retrieving my previous ctwm specification from fedora days... So far I intensely dislike the default ubuntu interface but can just about use it to get to the desired goals...including installing their default ctwm before seeing the advice to avoid it! But not yet ready to use it.
Replying using horrible remotely accessed campus outlook based email interface temporarily. Aplogies for any resulting mess when I send...

Zoom is anti-Linux. It depends on having Pulseaudio, and having it set up just right. Both Jitsi and Big Blue Button meet the Linux user where he/she is configured: Pulse, no pulse, whatever. Anyone with a Chrome or Chromium browser can participate in a Pulse or Big Blue Button meeting. I can't speak for Big Blue Button, but Jitsi is trivial to use for Linux, Windows and Mac. I haven't tried it on BSD, but if you can put Chrome or Chromium on BSD, I don't see why Zoom wouldn't work there. Zoom plays favorites with operating systems, Jitsi and Big Blue Button do not. So, if you have any choice in the matter, I suggest you hold your meetings with Jitsi or Big Blue Button.
