I had no idea there was even a web version. Does it work in Linux? Zoom often leaves me with broken audio and I really dislike having to have more rarely used software trying to stick around in memory. I uninstall it after each use, purely out of spite. This is great.

On Ubuntu + Firefox I can see other people, but I can’t hear anything, nor can they hear me (I don’t know if they can see me)

I believe they recommend Chrome, so you might want to give that a try

Chromium should work too, no?

Yes, zoom web view worked for me on Fedora with Chromium from the Fedora repo.

As stated elsewhere, it doesn't show the same thumbnail/gallery view of non-speaking participants that you can get with the native client. I was able to share an application window, so there is some decent functionality. I don't know if that might vary with graphics stack, i.e. Intel vs NVIDIA and Wayland vs Xorg...
