Zoom and Meta/Facebook Portal TV workaround?

[nonprofit01]

Hello! I work for a nonprofit, and we are trying to find a way to still use Zoom with our Meta/Facebook Portal TV in order to streamline meetings with our teammates who are on the ground providing humanitarian aid to people facing the realities of war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

As far as I can tell, the only browser still available on the Portal TV is the Vewd Browser. Using this browser, I have tried on both a normal and private tab to join a zoom meeting. I am able to access https://app.zoom.us/wc and enter the meeting code, but I cannot get much further than that. This is because a box pops up that asks for me to press Allow so that Zoom can use my camera and microphone, but then the Allow button never pops up. I also think that the Portal TV itself may be blocking me from entering the meeting. I think a box popped up for a few seconds that said so, but I haven't seen it pop up since, so I am wondering if I misread the message.

If anyone can find out how to allow one's camera and microphone to be used by Zoom on the Vewd Browser on a Portal TV, please let me know! Also, if anyone knows how to download another browser to the Portal TV that will allow me to access Zoom, please let me know! Our teammates who are currently facing the realities of war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo would greatly appreciate it 🙂

I have the same problem, also with a nonprofit. Disheartening that you haven't received any responses. I was really hoping for some very clever tech hack to help. Out FB Portal TV is now a giant white elephant.
