Maybe ask the supplier of the software for support: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362003

Re: Running Zoom video conferencing client on the Pi
Open a browser on the Raspberry Pi
Browse to: https://join.zoom.us
Enter your meeting ID or Personal Link Name
Click cancel for 'Open xdg-open'
Click 'click here' in the 'If nothing prompts from browser, click here....
Again click cancel for 'Open xdg-open'
Now there is a new link at the bottom of the browser window with a correctly formed url that will start the specific meeting when you click 'start from your browser'

Zoom does not offer ARM binaries for Linux, only x86. You can use the web version as someone mentioned or you could try installing Android and using the Zoom APK.

- In Chromium go to the chrome webstore. This link.
- Click Install App.
- That's it! Launch it from Menu --> Chromium Apps --> Zoom.

Re: Running Zoom video conferencing client on the Pi
Since the kids are doing using Zoom video conferencing to meet with their teachers I was hoping to use this for their meetings.
I can get Zoom to work in Chromium but there are problems with the mic.
I tried the app from the Chrome store but when I try to login it times out.
Is there any way to do this?

Do you actually get the Chrome app to work?
I tried in Raspbian and FydeOS and it doesn't work in either.

Re: Running Zoom video conferencing client on the Pi
Did you find the chrome app? There is one that is not the scheduler.
Like I said before I tried it Raspbian and FydeOS and it doesn't working.
Just says "Connecting..." and never connects or if I login it says "Login timeout."

Yes I got it to launch (see screenshot above). But I haven't had an opportunity to do a video call yet. (assumed it would work fine)

Re: Running Zoom video conferencing client on the Pi
OK that's different then.
I can open the app just like in your picture but I assumed you actually joined or hosted a meeting.
Please give it a try!

Well they are using an Android tablet now but I would like an option with the actually gallery view.
Plus I could just cast the screen via my Chromecast 
I want to see if the gallery view like on a Windows PC is there.

Re: Running Zoom video conferencing client on the Pi
Like I said before I can get Zoom to work on Chromium with the join from browser option.
But the video is poor and laggy.
Any ideas to improve that?
Also for curiosity I tried a Hangouts call and the quality was much better. Just want Zoom to be as good.

Suggestion: try it with a 64bit OS like Ubuntu
Why not try it in Ubuntu? This issue might be a 32bit/64bit thing. It's worth challenging the assumption that 32bit doesn't matter here.
BTW: Ubuntu on an RPi4 really likes to have wired ethernet hooked up, as it's support for wifi is nowhere as convenient as Raspbian at present.

Actually tried that-installed Ubuntu with the Lubuntu desktop.
Unfortunately you can only get it to work in Chromium. Video laggy just like in Raspbian.
And I was hardwired into the router so that wasn't part of the problem.
However on a video calling/conference note I did do a Duo call today. Worked better like Hangouts so I am stumped why Zoom won't better like Duo or Hangouts??
