I use the web browser version, and refuse to even install Zoom. It's borderline spyware.

sunova.... I couldn't find the web based version...That's what frustrated me about zoom compared to webex. I could use Weber in the browser and zoom had to be installed

It's gated behind a fallback after three "failed" attempts at clicking on the link to open the app after opening a meeting URL, or a meeting setting. So, not on by default, seems to be unable to join audio unless you use Chrome, and shows a single video only.

I tried using the web client in Chrome today on my Mac, and the audio was playing to me at what felt like 50% speed; everyone sounded like slow motion to me.
