   And that works because of something like WebRTC support.   
      
   Not all browsers necessarily have WebRTC.   
      
   It's handy if your browser has   
      
       OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems  (part of WebRTC)   
      
       WideVine Content Decryption provided by Google  (a lot of lame/useless   
   content is protected this way)   
      
   And the Supervisor was using an AI :-)   
   The tick mark in this UTF-8 supporting posting,   
   is the work of Harmony answer format. I normally   
   edit those out and remove the graphical decorations   
   before repeating them somewhere.

     ^^^ This indicates the info came from ChatGPT or CoPilot   
         It is marking various sections of the answer with emoji-like symbols   
      
   The AI does not think globally and review the browser   
   requirements, to see what is necessary to make a Zoom   
   or Teams to work. You can explicitly ask the AI   
   for that information, and then it gets included.   
      
   The Seamonkey browser for example, even though it is regularly   
   released, it might not be good enough for Zoom or Teams.
