Hi, I've been using Debian for about 3 months, still a newbie. I'm trying to

to their web site, they detect you're using Linux and ask which distro
you're using. I'm a little apprehensive about downloading from a vendor web
site. Is there anyone here that's familiar with Zoom on Debian?

I started using the Zoom application on Debian systems at the
beginning of the pandemic, as many people did. I used it daily from
that time until now. I have had no problems with it and it did not
affect those computers in any way so I believe that it is totally safe
to install it and use it. The Linux and MacOS versions of Zoom often
lag behind the Windows version in terms of functionality but they are
very useable. In particular, the Windows version seems to have a bit
more audio configuration capability than the Linux/MacOS versions but
all versions of Zoom work pretty well in my experience.
I prefer to use actual applications running natively on the computer
than using browser-based apps, and never used Zoom in a browser so I
can't speak to the difference between the Zoom application vs. the
browser application. But you are in no danger installing Zoom on
Debian Linux systems.
Same here. I would add that the Linux version is getting better.
Happy zooming,
Jerome
