Easy, quick containers for Windows - Windows Sandbox. I've been putting Zoom in there to avoid installing it on my machine.

The web application is crippled, among others, you can't have the grid view.

Using Zoom from Firefox.

It just works. You don’t have to use an image like Hyper-V. It’s up and running in less than three seconds. You can configure permissions on a per-container basis (with a lot of work).

Only bad thing is that MS doesn’t seem to realize what an incredibly useful tool they’ve built and don’t seem to be actively developing for it.
