I've read the basic        AA> requirements and process. But I need to know if even the web/client        AA> option requires a download. The docs seem to have conflicting        AA> information. The Zoom page says:               AA> "The Zoom web client allows joining a Zoom meeting or webinar        AA> *without* downloading any plugins or software."               AA> But then further in it says:               AA> "You do not have to have a Zoom account to attend a Zoom meeting        AA> or interview.

How much data would a typical        AA> connection consume in one minute?              I have no experience with the application myself, but Zoom has had a lot of       bad publicity lately. Basically they steal, use and sell every bit of       information they can get there hands on from your applience, with or without       your consent. So if you value your privacy don't use Zoom...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 288/100       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 280/464 229/426           |
