The reason they& #39;re discovering that Zoom does so much heinous stuff without your permission to your PC is that their business model is:
FREE TIER: sell user data to advertisers
PAID PLANS: sell control of your computer to your boss (remote webcam enable, attention tracking)

Anyway, not trying to yuck on anybody& #39;s yum and staying social is important! But if you& #39;re looking for a good free videoconference service try https://meet.jit.si"> https://meet.jit.si which allows multi-user meetings, screenshare, etc AND it& #39;s free AND you don& #39;t even need to make an account.
(and the software it uses is open source and freely available—they run the site as a demonstration of its ability. Only downside is that it& #39;s a bit browser fussy--works great in Chrome and fine in Firefox)
