This is a bit off-topic, but I can’t seem to use Zoom on my Ubuntu laptop with either Chrome or Firefox. As soon as I enter a call, it sucks up all the available memory until the tab, browser, or whole UI crashes. I can use jit.si or Google meetings with no problem. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop and desktop. I haven't tried in the browser, but the installed app seems to work well for me on both.

I used that once, successfully. Then I reconfigured my system and uninstalled a particular input method, and the app refuses to run without it. So my comment was about the in-browser version. I know they all use the same browser APIs, so it's interesting that some work well but Zoom won’t work at all.
