We had problems setting up Zoom on my wife's computer; the problem turned out to be her LTS (thus older) version of Firefox. That did not properly connect Zoom to the correct microphone channel. Perhaps we could have got that working with enough Firefox frobbing (many wasted hours). Instead, we installed the most recent Google Chrome for our CentOS-derived Linux distro. We use Chrome ONLY for a few web-conferencing apps, while continuing to use LTS Firefox for everything else, including /most/ websites with passworded logins. I don't like using the same app to store passwords and also for high bandwidth outbound video. Too many opportunities for steganographic mischief. I presume Chromium will also work with Zoom, but haven't tried it. Too many other projects needing attention. Keith PS: I probably mentioned this before, but our "camera" is the USB3 camera that came with my Oliwak borescope: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PBW52SF Difficult to use as a borescope; adjusting the LED illumination changes from saturated black to saturated white far too quickly. The camera works fine as a camera taped to the top of the monitor, using room lighting. I plan to void the borescope warranty by replacing the tiny illumination dial on the side of the borescope handheld display with a ten-turn potentiometer. -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
