If you attempt to join a zoom call from anything but Chrome, you will get a prompt telling that "You need to be on Android 10 and Chrome 91 or higher".
Here is a Firefox bug report about the issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1944219. Mozilla has a User-Agent override intervention for Zoom on Android, but it's currently only in the Firefox Nightly builds.
Works perfectly fine with firefox snap ubuntu 152.0.4. I can select mic from one web cam and image from another. Is there somewhere a technical description of how they have used API to implement this ? Open sources ?
It kicked me out on Firefox 152 over Android 13, but only until I enabled desktop mode. Actual desktop Firefox seems to work too. And others say Safari works even on iOS.
So they're effectively just blocking non-Chrome Android. Not sure if that's all they intended to block or simply all they're succeeding at blocking.
