[kwlug-disc] Videoconference testing -- please help

[Jeff Smith]

As I mentioned before, at work we sometimes get Zoom invites to meetings 
with vendors or outside support people.  Since I am stuck with a Windows 
laptop at work I have to download and install the Zoom client, but after 
the meeting I run a program called Revo Uninstaller which does a decent 
job of hunting down any leftover (i.e. not removed) program files and 
Registry entries.  Zoom can get nasty with the leftovers some days...
