    I have to use Zoom for a online class and I was wondering how I can make my Zoom experience more private? Is there a Zoom client that I can use like how there are privacy-focused Discord clients? What privacy tips would you recommend?

      Spread software freedom ideas to your classmates.

      Don't say privacy. Say scam, abuse and control. You got to say it simple, so even a retard can see Zoom is fucked. You got to make it blatant.

      File group complaints.

        run the thing on an isolated container/vm? not much else you can do, your face/audio can't be hidden anyway

            Not much really. Separate profile on your machine or run it in a VM. Then maybe use a vpn. But that doesn’t really hide anything from zoom itself. Maybe use a throwaway email.

              I refuse to use the Zoom client on my computer and instead use the web client. There might not be 1:1 feature parity, but it's never been a problem for me with other people.

                  How complicated is it to run a isolated container/vm? I would say my tech skills are above average, but wouldn't consider myself tech-savvy.

                    That's what I usually do when I'm forced to use Zoom. Will definitely stick with using the web client.
