I did a call with 12 participants from France, Switzerland, UK and
Colombia just 2 days ago (Saturday) for a lockdown-lunch-with-friends. I
was hosting the call, on Zoom, from my Ubuntu laptop. (HP Elitebook).

It's all explained here:
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/204206269-Installing-Zoom-on-Linux
and very straightforward. Download a .deb and install it. It tells you
to download the Linux installer from here:
https://zoom.us/download?os=linux (don't forget to select your Ubuntu
flavor - probably 64bit 14.04+ like me).

Since then I've also put it on my parent's machine (they are several
hundred km away, so logged into the machine via VNC, installed it, and
they used it).

Works flawlessly. Used the microphone, camera and speakers of the HP
laptop directly.

On my parent's PC, it used a Logitech webcam, and the speakers and
microphone provided by the motherboard - I don't remember what brand of
desktop it is).

All in all, zero issues. Only joy.

Gilles
