[X2Go-User] Zoom Desktop Client will not start over X2Go

[Justin Paulsen]

Hi Uli,

I know it seems like an odd thing to do, but it is needed more often than
you might think.  I don't think the published applications mode would solve
my issue however I will give it a try.  I have submitted the issue to Zoom
but so far nothing happening with it.  Honestly, its an edge case and
probably not something most people would run into.  Right now I am doing
the same as what you suggested with the fullscreen app and sharing the
whole X2go window on my laptop.  It works but isn't ideal.

Stephan, Sorry I can't figure out how to reply to your message in digest
mode.  The X20go was just a typo, sorry!  As I mentioned to Uli I will try
published application mode and see if that works for me.  The web client
doesn't work for hosting a meeting as far as I can tell, it just tries to
launch the desktop app.  I know I can join a meeting with just the
webclient, but I don't believe I can share a screen with it.  I'll look
more into it though and see.

Thank you for your responses!

- Justin
