Zoom has a desktop app, which is x86 only and it supported on a selection of
Linux distros.  Usually such things can be made to work on an unsupported
distro with a bit of fiddling.  But the Pi is not an x86, so the desktop app
won't work.  However the browser app should.

Zoom also has an Android app, which might work if you run Android on the
Pi.

AFAIAA it's entirely a cloud app running on their infrastructure.  They can
price that however they want.

Zoom is a videoconference app - I'm not sure what you mean by 'publish
content'.  Everyone in a videoconference 'publishes'.  If you want to use it
as a broadcast mechanism it's just having receive-only attendees to the
conference (and they have a pricing option for that).
