Hi, it doesn't make sense to install an operating system that doesn't fit the users needs and then to emulate a mobile phone on that operating system, to run the required applications. That is the most worst mismanagement possible in the first place. "Android is [...] designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets [...] its source code is known as Android Open Source Project (AOSP) which is primarily licensed under the Apache License. However most Android devices ship with additional proprietary software pre-installed [...]." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_(operating_system) You are using an operating system not providing what you actually need, so to workaround the wrong choice done in the first place, you consider to use a virtual machine, but not to run the most useful guest for your purpose, instead you consider to try the most freakish "solution". > Ubuntu A Zoom mobile app is available for iOS and iPadOS, too, see https://zoom.us/support/download . Why not running iOS or iPadOS as virtualbox guest? Consider to run Ubuntu as guest on your FreeBSD host and iOS as guest in the Ubuntu guest. See: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2019-April/296577.html Take a look at the date, when the screenshot was taken and at the date of the post to the Ubuntu mailing list. It's around one year ago, so it should still work today. https://i.imgur.com/4rHkCs4.jpg Joking apart, the "complete idiots guide" you are asking for, is to not do something completely idiotic. I can't comment on the "Zoom Extension for Browsers". I can't comment on Zoom at all. However, did you already test it? If Zoom shouldn't run (as app or browser extension) on FreeBSD, maybe an alternative to "Zoom" does. If nothing should work on FreeBSD, then before considering to emulate a mobile phone, try to run a more common guest, either "Linux" or "Windows" or even consider to purge FreeBSD and to install an operating system that does suit. Well-implemented virtualisation is something very useful. Using virtualisation to patch a lack of plan makes the lack of plan just worse. It's a "Fass ohne Boden", translation: https://t4.ftcdn.net/jpg/00/53/46/37/240_F_53463791_23a9vQG7TIsliZE2PyWT4SEzh3MDTZWL.jpg Regards, Ralf
