How up-to-date is this? I was able to join a zoom videoconference yesterday evening from the web browser. And while on the topic of the web client, it turned out to be a very disappointing experience. There was no way to set focus on a given attendee; I wanted to view the host's video feed but the website kept switching feeds, seemingly haphazardly, to different attendees.

Could it be that they are limited by the number of servers that are available to them? A webrtc bridge shouldn't have a bottleneck and should perfectly scale. Who is their cloud provider?
Open a bug with Apple about this. They fixed an issue I reported a few years back about being able to launch applications in the Trash. They will likely want to add the same restriction to Time Machine Backups as well.
What if you need to run an old version of the application?

There's at least one app for figuring out why every hourly backup takes half a gigabyte. It might require root privileges, but I doubt that.
Wait, is that not normal?

I would think that it's touching a bunch of log files slightly or something…
My guess so far is something like Firefox's history database.

This is unexpected to me. If I remove an application I do not expect it to run. If the OS is willing to reach into the Time Machine backups will it also modify them? What if I delete an app, run it then install an update? Will it install to the backup? That would be very unexpected. Looking at multiple application directories is one thing but executing things from the backup directory is another.
I checked before, and if I recall correctly, Time Machine backups are protected at the kernel level -- you cannot modify them, even with sudo. You can delete the whole backup, but you cannot modify part of it. > but executing things from the backup directory is another. Time Machine backups are structured in a very non-proprietary way. Each backup is just a folder, protected from modifications, with hard links used t…

If it wasn't mounted, I would file a bug.
Either way, not really Zoom's fault.
Anyway, I've had at least one application that said to remove it, first delete it, AND THEN EMPTY THE TRASH (?!?!) and maybe even reboot. Most of us are probably more troubled by the trash-empty thing than the reboot thing.
EDIT: OK Alzheimer's hasn't gotten me yet. It was Witopia / personalVPN:

Just search the page for the word "empty". It reads:

2. If you already had the WiTopia personalVPN app installed previously: Go to your FINDER > Applications folder > Drag the WiTopia app from there to the trash > and empty the trash* to remove the existing app.
* If the trash is not emptied, this will not work!
