So, just to be clear, are you joining using the desktop application (JAVA),
or via the browser (webrtc).  There is a host (literally) of things you can
not do from the webrtc interface.
(Seeing who is talking is one of the things you can do)
Join-by-browser works for me with chrome and firefox on Devuan/Debian Linux.
I'm not as diligent about having this week's version, but I'm usually no
further behind than a month.

Actually, Cisco's system is not free-of-charge.
It was donated to the IETF for awhile with no SLA, but apparently we now have
an SLA (we are real customer), and so really we have the right to complain.
