step, is that updating I can do, or wait for you to make a Puppy version of whatever is the updated Zoom?

To my chagrin, I discovered that I had installed zoom on a laptop with no camera. I have now installed it on one that does have a camera and can confirm that it works under BionicPup64. Hello, WoodLark. Similar experience. This, my 'regular' computer, apparently has no working webcam. I managed to ...

Apparently, there is no point in remastering my puppy to remove a simple program. Do you know what is the best type of installation for old computers? Frugal or full? Yes, I too feel that there is no point in remastering my puppy to remove a simple program. And that the best installation for comput...

my bicycle club had a meeting using it. Hi Sheldon, Just curious, what kind of riding do you do? Have done a fair bit myself although fading a bit in my senior years but I still get some nice rides in. Good for you, jrb; wish I could say the same. I'm now 85 years old, with diabetes diagnosed in 20...

..I've set her up to run it in Xenial64 and I see it runs nicely in Bionicpup64 but neither of these are exactly lightweights. So I thought I'd have a go at getting it to run in April64, and it works. :shock: I used 666philb's zoom-x86_64.pet (Good job Phil)! Had to add a few small deps and a symli...

Thanks, 01micko; I did that, and it works fine under Radky's BusterPup 8.0.

Is there a way to test the zoom on some 'meeting' designed as a test thing? Not meeting as a test, but if you go into the Settings > Video you can check if your camera works or not (black screen = not) Fred Thanks, Fred; black screen is what I see on this Dell E6410 laptop.
