the current version doesn't use a "Lite" version in Firefox) then your
best bet is to use RDP to a Windows machine or a Windows VM. Since you
only really need it for creating meetings, you don't need the VM
consuming resources most of the time.
The problem with a Windows VM is that it is almost impossible to get
anything other than XP to run without assigning most of your resources
to the VM. (And Windows XP is a bit on the old side, so may not be
available with security updates anymore.)
I actually had more luck with RDP than with a VM.
