Tai-Lin Chu found that Zoom SDK version 5.4 worked better than 5.5 running in WINE.  
He used this Dockerfile:

```auto
FROM i386/debian:sid

RUN \
  dpkg --add-architecture i386 \
  && apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -y wget gnupg2 \
  && wget -nc https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key \
  && apt-key add winehq.key \
  && echo "deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list \
  && apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -y --install-recommends winehq-devel \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

```

Inside the container, I started the app something like this:

```auto
export WINEARCH="win32"
export WINEPATH="/zoom-sdk-windows/bin"
apt-get install xvfb
Xvfb :0 -screen 0 1024x768x16 &
DISPLAY=:0.0 wine ./your-app.exe

```

I have since abandoned this prototype, so I can’t say more about it.

Chromium (Electron) would be preferred as it is

1. To much a hassle to make sure it works on each version of linux including future linux versions.
2. Electron awesome

We have a large client who is pushing us to bring Zoom on our SironaTV devices which embedded Linux built using Yocto based IOT devices and uses a chromium browser.

Using WebRTC video and Audio tools like [here](https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/devices/input-output/) we see our camera and our microphones on this link.

However when we do [join.zoom.us](http://join.zoom.us) we do not see the microphone and camera devices which the above link sees. We also get logs like these from chromium:

Failed to query video capabilities: Inappropriate ioctl for device  
[ERROR:bus.cc(393)] Failed to connect to the bus: Could not parse server address: Unknown address type

Integrating Zoom with chromium opens doors of Zoom into the IOT world - which is substantial!

Answering about questions:

We prefer chromium as all our apps are built on Chromium thus a native Linux app will be difficult to manage. Our solution is based on a TV hence we only have a remote control to navigate.
