The zoom web client has extremely buggy audio support. It regularly breaks in all of the browsers on my computer, and I end up listening to meetings only able to contribute via the text chat.

Ah, I didn't know that. I always phone in, and only use the computer audio as a failover.

I've had this as well. I just refresh as soon as the audio and video comes up, and this seems to keep it stable for the remainder of the session. Otherwise, there's like a 60% I lose the ability to do anything.

Audio was stuttering for me as well up until at some point late last autumn / early winter when it suddenly started working quite fine to the point I could actually bear using it. On MacOS with Chrome.

strange. I exclusively use the web client with chromium and ubuntu and have no issues whatsoever. I use it for probably 20 meetings per week.

You can also click "cancel" when the browser prompts you to open in zoom, then it will show a link to join from the browser.

Try stracing the desktop client.

handy, thanks
