Sometimes, you really do just need to run a Windows app on Linux and perhaps WinBoat might make this easier with its promise of seamless integration.

    There is a Windows only video confrencing app that I need to use for work. Would this work ok?

    I wonder if it can connect to my laptops webcam and microhpone. I also wonder if there would be a delay in the video and audio streams.

      The good thing is, it’s all free software (*), so you can just try.

      (*) Windows is free, because you almost certainly have a license with your pc which you can use in the vm too if your pc runs linux.

      Webcam is just USB device, you can passthru that to the VM and it will work. Microphone is part of your onboard audio device, but it can probably be configured somehow to also expose microphone on an emulated audio device inside vm, but idk
