Update: Heise points out that Zoom is giving data to Facebook without notice: https://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/meldung/Bericht-Zoom-App-fuer-iOS-reicht-Daten-heimlich-an-Facebook-weiter-4691613.html (in German). Gore a more detailed analysis see this English post: https://protonmail.com/blog/zoom-privacy-issues/
For videoconferences without the "original sound" feature of Zoom, I recommend: Jitsi for use with Chrome browser or Jitsi app. Conference servers are available here: https://meet.jit.si or https://meet.ffmuc.net
Update 2: Zoom reacted immediately and removed the data sharing feature from the iOS app with an update, see the announcement here.

We are the "Erster Kölner Barbershop Chor" and have also successfully participated in the casting of the Best Choir in the West. Nevertheless we are not looking for the first best!
We like to spice up our performances with the Cologne way of life and a lot of humor. Nevertheless, we are seriously searching!
The BinG! quartett "Klangsurfer" will sing January 29th 2022 (subject to the pandemic) at the Zurich ACAPELLA NIGHT, Volkshaus Zürich (Weißer Saal).
Come over or tell your Swiss friends and relatives!
Wer kennt nicht das Problem, bei virtuellen Chorproben das Tempo zu halten? Gemeint sind hier nicht Einweg-Sessions mit einer Videokonferenz-Software wie z.B. Zoom oder Jitsi, sondern echtes Miteinander-Singen auf der Basis von Jamulus.
