Hi,
Have you tried:
spi search Zoom
In the archives of this mailing list, There is some instruction
regarding Zoom on Slint given by Philippe and others.
I followed and manage this instruction to install Zoom app on my Slint machine.
It is not the easiest app to work with using ORCA but I managed to
participate in few meetings already with no problems.
Hth,
Pawel

If you receive a ZOOM invitation, on the invitation there are meeting
codes and pass-codes. You can call one of the telephone numbers given
and enter the code, and then the pass-code and join by telephone.
There is a Zoom client for Linux, it requires gcc of 4.7 and higher.
SLINT uses gcc-5.5.0.
You must add the Zoom public key to your GPG key ring.
As user in MATE-terminal:
gpg --recv-keys 61A7C71D
Then you have to trust the key:
As user:
gpg --lsign 61A7C71D
The Zoom application for Linux:
In MATE-terminal as user change directory into Downloads then wget to
obtain the application, unarchive the application, change into the
application folder.
cd Downloads
wget

Become root user:
su
Install the package:
installpkg ./zoom-linux-3.5.352596.0119-x86_64-1_slonly.txz
Exit root user:
exit
Run zoom-linux
Zoom offers a browser plug-in to start or schedule a ZOOM meeting
from your browser.

I hope this helps.
Regards.

Greetings!
I want to join a party tonight that's on Zoom. I tried earlier to join
another gathering but failed.
During that failed effort, I came to a point where there were choices of
Linux distros to download for. Slint wasn't there--nor Slackware. I
don't think I have a proper app or Zoom client already, since a
slapt-get --search attempt and a "man zoom" check gave me something very
different.
At this point, I just want to join something, not host it. Can anybody
tell me what I should do or point me to instructions?
Thanks for any help.
Al
