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?
run the thing on an isolated container/vm? not much else you can do, your face/audio can’t be hidden anyway
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.
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.
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.
That’s what I usually do when I’m forced to use Zoom. Will definitely stick with using the web client.
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.
The best what u can do,it’s run in the browser with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zoom-redirector/
