I concur.  Zoom stinks on ice.

Unfortunately, I've investigated about half a dozrn different VTC
packages for Linux and they *all* suck. Terrible UI, random flaky
failures to share video...these are routine.

The least bad, so far, seems to be meet.jit.si.  Bet even that can
get confused about whether can see your webcam - I've several times
seen it in a mode where in generates a self-view at the same time it's
claiming it can't see your camera and refusing to cast that image to
other clients. Anybody have any insight into this?
