An OpenSource Client we could think about supporting is libwebrtc for the brwoser versions. Our Firefox may be convinced to add that capability since it is present on the Linux build of Firefox.

If somebody gets it built locally I am gladly moving it into our package.

AFAIK, Zoom is proprietary and only available for Windows, macOS, (some) Linux,

So I think there is probably no open source or Solaris client. There are some 
incompatible open source alternatives, but they're not nearly as widely used, 
and probably don't have as rich a feature set.

And (AFAIK, i.e. Wikipedia or occasional alerts) Zoom has a history of security 
and privacy issues that one might want to be aware of if one is in any position 
to consider alternatives.

I think browser extensions do NOT implement Zoom, but simply provide a way that 
URLs with certain patterns can invoke the Zoom client on supported platforms, 
so that clicking on a link can initiate a session.

Hello,

One of the few times I have to start a computer in Windows is to run ZOOM for 
video conferences. Is there a way to use ZOOM  on Openindiana ?

Thanks

Marc
