Problem
In Debian ppc64le Chromium as of October 2023, video fails in the Zoom test meeting and in Zoom calls. The user-visible symptom is the Stop Video spinner spins indefinitely:
Video Spinner
The Zoom JavaScript code checks the Chrome version. If that version is less than or equal to 100.0, video works. Read on for failure details.
Workaround
The workaround is to modify the user-agent string to reduce the Chrome version to 100.0.0.0. For example, copy the User Agent value from the Chromium version page and use Chromium's undocumented command line switch to set the user agent:
chromium --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/100.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
