Removing Zoom with aptitude also "disappeared" linphone.  After 
removing Zoom,  aptitude showed linphone was not installed.  I'm 
leaving  both off the Debian system until progress is apparent.

After removal with aptitude, all of that is gone.

Yah, a user should be wary of any software not available from the 
Debian archive.

The FIrefox extension appeared to start OK.  The USB video camera was 
selectable but no video image appeared in the window.  Also no audio.  

Zoom isn't necessary on the desktop system.  It works on the iPhone 
and Android tablet.

Thx,                         ... P.
