What do you then do about the horrible performance of zoom in chrome?

For me, the sound becomes unintelligible as soon as someone shares his screen.

Try a different browser. On Mac, Safari is much more resource efficient than Chrome for example. On Windows I'm not sure, but it can't hurt t give FF a try.

N=1, but it works great in Firefox on Linux and doesn't use noticeably more resources that what I usually see with video calls.

Last I checked FF was not even supported :)

It has been supported for at least a month, probably two. I didn't (have to) use Zoom before that, thankfully.

Looks supported now

Haven't had this problem. And in general, we try to get people to use whereby (also the web version), which we've been very happy with.

You recommend using the extension to circumvent your employer banning your use of Zoom, while at work?

He said they banned the zoom client, not the zoom service.

It's wild to me how many companies are happy for everyone to have that client installed, despite usually having otherwise completely onerous security policies in other areas.
