That's been my personal experience, but colleagues on Linux are continually fighting it.

I gave up on the native Zoom client on Linux right away, it was completely broken. It worked well enough on a browser to get through the project though.

Same with Teams, the video calls work fine on a browser. You just can't use any background pictures or effects.

    Thanksfully it is fairly easy to present a virtual webcam that is a composition of what your real physical webcam is showing and whatever background you want.

  • Teams in Firefox on Linux does work with backgrounds for me, and since a few months you can even upload custom backgrounds.

    Actual calling works well enough, I would say it is more stable than the native Windows client ever was.
