How to get the zoom video conferencing tool to work on gentoo
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The zoom video conderencing tool works on gentoo, but since it is not integrated in a desktop environment on my machine (I am running an i3 window manager) I cannot authenticate on the google corporate domain where I work. Here is how to work
|
|
around that.
|
|
|
|
## Running the client
|
|
|
|
{{< highlight yaml >}}
|
|
./ZoomLauncher
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
|
|
|
## Working around the "zoommtg address not understood" error
|
|
|
|
When you try to authenticate you will have your web browser pop up with a link it cannot interpret. You need to get the `zoommtg://.*` thing and run it in another ZoomLauncher (do not close the zoom process that spawned this authentication link
|
|
or the authentication will fail :
|
|
{{< highlight yaml >}}
|
|
./ZoomLauncher 'zoommtg://zoom.us/google?code=XXXXXXXX'
|
|
{{< /highlight >}}
|
