Anyone here have experience with Zoom?
I've been invited to participate in a session. I've read the basic requirements and process. But I need to know if even the web/client option requires a download. The docs seem to have conflicting information. The Zoom page says:
"The Zoom web client allows joining a Zoom meeting or webinar *without* downloading any plugins or software."
But then further in it says:
"You do not have to have a Zoom account to attend a Zoom meeting or interview. You will be prompted to "download" the software, once you have clicked on the link that you have been provided."
So, which is it? Download or no download? I would like to know in advance because my data plan is capped and I don't want to download any client software. The data stream will probably consume plenty of data just the same.
Which brings me to the next question. How much data would a typical connection consume in one minute?
I have no experience with the application myself, but Zoom has had a lot
of bad publicity lately. Basically they steal, use and sell every bit of
information they can get there hands on from your applience, with or
without your consent. So if you value your privacy don't use Zoom...

It does boast "private" sessions.. but that is not the same as
encrypted or truly private.
Zoom seems to cater to the "if it's free, it can't hurt (I have
nothing to hide), and it's fun!" mentality (aka, the mezmerized
uneducated minions).
OTOH, https://jitsi.org/ promises privacy. It might the better
choice if anyone cares about privacy.
