Only in Chrome, unfortunately, and it's severely limited at that. The most limiting factor is that you can only see one other participant at a time.

Additionally, Zoom's past attempt to prevent you from uninstalling part of their software is extra reason to only use the Chrome version, if any: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20407233

Ah, tested it and it behaves the same WRT audio in all browsers but Chrome (so works, except audio). So that's not Edge on Xbox One as the culprit but Zoom implementing a Chrome-only audio API.
