Well, at least with Teams you can use the web app, for Zoom has to be installed, and at least under Linux it's a complete train-wreck. Incidentally, I have the issue with 100% CPU usage during video calls with Zoom, while Teams (in the browser) works just fine.

Zoom has to be installed

Is that a recent change? Up until a few month ago I worked at a company that banned the Zoom client for "security reasons" and had to use Zoom on the web for all my Zoom meetings and it never was a problem.

Zoom can run in the browser.

AFAIK, Zoom can "run in the browser" in the sense that when you click a Zoom link it prompts you to install a "Zoom Launcher plugin" which is for all intents and purposes a binary application that you install locally. I wouldn't call that "running in the browser". Or has something changed recently?

Pretty sure it’s always been the case it can run as WebRTC in the browser. They make it hard to find, but if you reject all their crapware there is a link to just continue in the browser and join a zoom.
