Is anyone using Zoom video conferencing software with 32-bit Q4OS?

Currently running 32-bit Q4OS Scorpion on a Dell Dimension 2400 with 2.2GHz Pentium 4. I haven't tried anything yet; just want to know whether anyone has had success with Zoom -- and if so, are you using the Debian software?

(Under the hood, Q4OS is Debian, so I'm assuming this would be preferable vs. other Linux software...or is it?)

Edit: Removed webcam question -- no longer relevant.

Thanks!

I'm not using it with a 32-bit install, but I have q4os with Zoom 64-bit installed with no issues.  The 32-bit package is available for the same version, so SHOULD work.

AS for webcam, it's whatever is integrated into my laptop, but I never turn my webcam on during meetings.

Ahh, thanks -- you just reminded me of why I posted in the first place!

According to several posts in another Linux forum, some distros built with Debian or Ubuntu binaries are having issues with Zoom on 32-bit hardware, while things appear to be mostly OK with 64-bit hardware. So I'm wondering if that applies here as well.

2.2GHz Pentium 4.

As it turns out, this was the problem, not the 32-bit software. The processor couldn't handle Zoom. (Perhaps a dual-core 32-bit could?)

Switched to 64-bit Q4OS Centaurus on a Lenovo H430 with 3.4GHz dual-core i3, and all is well.
