For Pi there's only the browser-based version. No installed
software or "app". From what I've read that's better
because it's less amenable to Zoom spyware.
The security/
privacy issues are another matter. They relate mostly to
assumptions by the Zoomians that nearly all Zoom
meetings are work-related and that security through
obscurity is adequate. (In other words, since no one's
likely to care or figure out how to guess the ID # of
your meeting, it's private. But that only held true before
there were so many meetings that entering any old
number might get you video of young women stretching
in their Lululemons, or of business meetings that might
provide profitable information.)
