Introduction
Zoom is an audio and video conferencing system available for PCs and mobiles: Linux, Apple, Windows, Android, Blackberry.
This page describes how to install Zoom in Mageia 7 Linux (64bit).
For more information, please see: Getting started with Zoom
Note that Zoom client is free but is not available via the Mageia packaging system. Zoom calls up to 40 minutes are free.
Benefits
Zoom makes it easy to have voice and video conference calls. Unlike some other VOIP systems it does not limit the number of people on a call. You can share your desktop, have text chat, and record your meetings.
Preparation
sudo
This page documents the installation of Zoom using sudo where needed.
Check that you have sudo installed and configured as described here: Configuring_sudo.
Install pre-requisites
Install packages that are needed for Zoom, or check that it is already installed:
On 64 bit systems we need lib64xcb-xtest0:
[user@computer ~]$ /bin/sudo urpmi lib64xcb-xtest0
On 32 bit systems we need libxcb-xtest0:
[user@computer ~]$ /bin/sudo urpmi libxcb-xtest0
Download Zoom rpm
First, create a directory ~/Downloads/zoom/ to save the RPM and package signing key in.
mkdir -p ~/Downloads/zoom/
Download zoom RPM from Zoom's download centre. Unfortunately, there is no port for Mageia but we can use the Fedora version.
From the Select Linux type select Fedora.
Select correct OA architecture to match your system (eg 32 or 64 bit).
| Note: All the next examples (below) show 64 bit system |

Install Zoom
Install the downloaded Zoom rpm.
Note that we are using --allow-nodeps because this is an RPM for Fedora and we have already sorted dependencies with our pre-requisites install.
[user@computer ~]$ /bin/sudo urpmi --allow-nodeps ~/Downloads/zoom/zoom_x86_64.rpm
Example, installing 64 bit version of Zoom:
[user@localhost ~]$ /bin/sudo urpmi --allow-nodeps ~/Downloads/zoom/zoom_x86_64.rpm
WARNING: --allow-nodeps option is in use. Some strange problems may happen

Run Zoom
Zoom gets installed as /usr/bin/zoom.
So all we have to do is start it in the desktop as: Applications -> Internet -> Zoom.
Alternatively from command line:
zoom
This will result in the splash screen being displayed:
Register for free Zoom account
Once you have registered with Zoom for a free account you can host a meeting.
Login to your account and then schedule a meeting and share the meeting details with your meeting attendees.
Meetings are assigned an "ID" number of the format: 123-456-789.
People can join meetings either using the zoom client software or using a URL in their browser (generated by scheduling a meeting) using the meeting ID number.
Login and check settings
Once you have logged in to the zoom client, you can click on settings (at top right) and check your speakers and microphone are working OK.
Updates
Since the zoom package is not ported to Mageia and not in the Mageia URPMI package lists it will not get updated when urpmi --auto-update is run.
Until a better method is found the only way to update is from time to time re-download the zoom rpm and check if it is different from the previous downloaded zoom rpm.
Example for latest update on 2020_04_26
