[kwlug-disc] Videoconference testing -- please help

[Paul Nijjar]

I had no idea that Zoom was deceptively making people install the app.
I totally have fallen for this, and now I am mad. (I also participated
in a video conference where I did not have the screen open much, so
now I am embarrassed that I got caught.) 

Grr.  

Apparently you can even use the browser in firefox? I have not tried
this extension but I think I will try soon (and uninstall the Zoom app
if it works):
