Zoom can be browser only, it just uses dark patterns to lure you to install the client. The link to join by web appears when all others fail...

But why would you use it when it has like 1 second latency. Google Meet is kind of meh but works. Or pure audio calls like Telegram or something like Mumble (which has rooms, you can host a server yourself, is open source and doesn't suck).

I can see why salespeople prefer video calls but for technical topics it just doesn't make sense.
