   Usually you cant't choose video conferencing software as a participant,   
   but during the pandemic I have had the opportunity to try a number of   
   video conferencing systems using only the firefox browser in Slacware   
   14.2. In my experience I would rate those systems from best to worst:   
      
   1) Jitsi (works great with webcam, sharing desktop and youtube videos in   
   browser)   
      
   2) Google meet (almost as good as jitsi)   
      
   3) Zoom (I was able to connect with webcam to the meeting, but to also   
   get sound I needed to call in with my mobile phone)   
      
   4) Microsoft Teams (would require installation of a binary client program   
   or some other browser like Microsoft Edge)   
      
   5) Microsoft Skype/Lync (does not work in a browser at all)
