So far it only works for me on my mac laptop in the Chrome browser. It doesn't work for me in Firefox, but I have so many security- and privacy-protecting browser extensions loaded that it's not surprising, and I haven't actually tried to get it working on Linux.

(That does not mean I am announcing that we are holding the KWLUG
meeting on Zoom. I just wanted to answer Doug's question.)
