Counter example: installed zoom years ago for a job interview

Didn't work (Linux, Wayland even). We switched to discord for the interview.

Uninstalled zoom, never installed it again.

All my clients use alternatives and I am sooo glad.

I should clarify: my clients range from multi billion dollar companies to small to medium sized ones.

The big ones use teams or such, the smaller ones are more flexible

Wherever we can, we use jitsi

On Ubuntu Linux (for years) I've used the following without issue, ranging from multiple times to every day, video and audio:

Hangouts Google Meet Skype Zoom Teams

Also, Wayland had issues years ago, that may have been related to the issue you experienced.

I am on arch for over 10 years and I had issues with audio. They could hear me, but I couldn't here them. Not on speakers, not on headphones.

We even tried X11, just to make sure... No idea why I mentioned wayland, I blame it on the temperature, sorry!
