    Zoom app never worked well on Linux and in browser experience was absolute shit.

    Sometimes it just wouldn’t start without any error message. 10 minutes before meeting. Fuck zoom.

    Teams works even in Firefox on Linux, but desktop client is very solid as well if you’re into that.

      My company uses both zoom and Google meet, most meetings are thankfully using Google meet but the occasional ones that use zoom are a headache.

      My company uses MacBooks and even then the zoom client has constant failures and it’s hard to get the browser to work.

      Basically, it’s not just a Linux problem, it’s the platform lol, but yes agreed it’s a nightmare in Linux as well.

      I have the opposite experience, Teams shits the bed constantly, chat is invisible half of the time, audioproblems galore, random hangups. Meanwhile, zoom works perfectly every time

      I had the exact opposite experience so bad, my job required me to install Windows after 5 or 6 years.

      Essentially, Teams classrooms cannot be larger than 200 people. Since our classrooms were as big as 800 people, Teams have a system like conference. However, it specifically mentions that you cannot create and host a conference unless you are from Microsoft Desktop App.

      I resigned a few months later and finally got rid of Windows, but it was a very bad experience for ne.
