zoom and teams patches

[ryan at petris.net]

That's not entirely true, I use Webex on Linux, including sharing my 
screen, nearly every day for work. It is true that there's no native 
client, though, but the workaround is to use Chrome or a Chrome-based 
browser (in my case, Chromium), and Webex is able to use the built-in 
screen sharing functionality of Chrome to share your screen. The only 
caveat I've found is that you must use Xorg, not Wayland, as Chromium 
doesn't appear to support screen capture on Wayland.
