Description

In other RTC apps, we mention software to avoid and in case of (FACEBOOK) WhatsApp we also have a link.

I wonder if we should also have a link and mentioning of Zoom.

Why I am making the suggestion

Zoom has been going around the news a lot on hoarding a lot of data on the users and cnnections to FACEBOOK etc.

My connection with the software

I have been made to use Zoom a few times in some associations and have the Flatpak of it installed. I am not affiliated with them though.

I will keep the issue up-to-date if something I have said changes or I remember a connection with the software.

We're going to be doing a blog article on this.

Unfortunately its not something that can be avoided with institutions that mandate it's students use it.

Therefore we'll be writing a blog article detailing how to set this up in a virtual machine.
