Zoom layout

How do you guys manage to work with zoom generally? I find floating windows to be too annoying in general, and it has all these secondary windows it spawns really feels like dynamic window managing would make it easier to work with, but I don't really know what layout would be better for it?

I dump it on a full screen workspace.

Zoom has been giving me so much trouble over the past few weeks I literally tried to switch to KDE just to use it. Didn't help a lot.

I'm pretty sure it's annoying with any setup.

​

Btw does anybody have any of these issues (and has hopefully solved it)?

- the "participants" window is empty, even though there are participants

- clicking "back to meeting" doesn't do shit

- clicking "stop share" doesn't do shit

Personally I only use it within a browser which works well enough. If I 'must' I'll fire up the work windows laptop as a last resort but it normally doesn't come to that. It works pretty well in the browser.

Have you ever tried hosting a session through that?

I really thought it was me, I just dump it too it's own window, and try not to knock it into the full miny mode.
