Installing Zoom on your machine is a mistake.

Their install process is indistinguishable from malware abdv they have a history of shitting on security for all growth possible.

And sadly governments abd corporations rewarded them for it.

I'm not a big fan of Zoom, but on Linux they have signed packages for most distros. Pretty standard install mechanism.
