I find this even more difficult now that the current Xen version does not let me to assign one USB controller to sys-usb and the other to a conference-VM anymore, because the two controllers share some resources, which is a security issue. So both controllers must go assigned to the same VM.
Otherwise one may think of making a script to hot assign USB controllers form sys-usb to conference VM and then back again, but I have a feeling that it would not work that way, rather need a reboot, then conference, then a reboot again to come back to the starting setting, which seems too much for me. I also thought of putting an additional USB controller into the expresscard slot, bought two of them rated as working with linux, but none really worked with my Qubes. I reverted to using another non-Qubes computer for conferences. But obviously this is a very serious limitation. So, writing this I wonder if it may make sense to use sys-usb as a conference VM. Sys-usb is red and should be considered compromised, but it may be better to have a compromised conference than nothing. Certainly my sys-usb is much more secure than the other non-Qubes computer that I am using now. What do you think?
