[Cialug] Video Conferencing

[Brett Neese]

Zoom has a browser client:
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/214629443-Zoom-Web-Client?mobile_site=true

People use it because it's the only one that doesn't randomly crash or bug
out that regular people can figure out how to use with the features users
want.

The UX for the others is awful.
