Re: Working on Zoom port

Hi Matthias,

>From personal experience, receiving Zoom video in conferences with
native www/chromium and the web interface works perfectly fine and has
for some time (at least the last year).  I think, but don't recall if
I personally tried it, that mic support is fine as well.  Audio
playback is fine.

Unfortunately, until recently, the webcam support in our chromium port
was disabled; it is restored in the '80.mumble.163_1' version of the
port.  There have been mixed reports of success (or not) with webcams
in chromium after 163_1; it works ok for some people and there are
flickering issues for others.  I don't have a supported webcam easily
available to test, but would appreciate more data (either "it works
for me," or "it doesn't, in this way") in PR 245505 (
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245505 ).

So, it may work well; it may only work half-duplex for video.  Try it out!

Firefox support may be better; I'm not familiar with the status of our
Firefox port.

Best regards,
Conrad

P.S., the web interface only offers a subset of the full
functionality, so I believe the efforts to port the linux binary
client are valuable.  Still, the web interface works well enough that
it might be an option.  It's what I use at my day job.
