I realize it's been a bit since this was sent, but was just going
through emails and saw it again, figured I'd put in my $.02.

This was about two or three years ago when I was solely using Debian,
my wife had a series of online meetings where they were using Cisco
Webex. I tried everything I could think of or find to use Webex on
Debian, but it didn't work. I finally set up a Win10 system just for
Webex, and it worked great (up until the dog unplugged the laptop with
failed battery and then Windows refused to boot up again).

So I'm not surprised you couldn't get it working either.

I know I have set up Teams for Linux on a Devuan system and my kid uses
that for online school. I'm pretty sure I've used Zoom on Linux before,
but that's been a while.
