You might also look at Jami, which has the virtue of being in the
Debian repos.

apt show jami-daemon

Use Jitsi, if possible. You can even run your own Jitsi server, if
desired. And it is open source. .

Zoom works fine on Bookworm using mainstream Logitech camera/microphone. It 
coexists with pipewire on the system where I use it, but does not show that as 
a dependency.

Installing it will drag in its dependencies, if they are not installed. Dpkg 
--info for the current Debian install file shows:

Hi, my approach is to do that on my laptop by using grub to boot into various
different Debian installations.

Multiboot is un-fashionable, but I find it useful and versatile. Hard
drives are plenty
big enough to allow multiple operating systems installations.

The 931GB spinning hard drive has 4 primary partitions, sizes are approximate:
  Z = 12GB boot
  X = 12GB standalone minimal Debian installation with /boot symlinked
to /mnt/Z/X
  Y = 12GB standalone minimal Debian installation with /boot symlinked
to /mnt/Z/Y
  LUKS2 = 895GB

So basically there is unencrypted boot, and the majority of the drive
is allocated to the
LUKS2 encrypted partition. Plus there are a couple of minimal Debian
installations,
one of which has Zoom installed.

The LUKS2 partition contains LVM volumes
  S = 12GB swap
  A, B, C, D, E = 5x 12GB Debian installations with /boot symlinked to
/mnt/Z/{ABCDE}
  T = 149G data
  U = 497G data

I have installed Zoom on partition Y, which does not contain
cryptsetup tools, so
the LUKS2 partition cannot be opened, which hides all my sensitive data from
Zoom.

When I want to do real work, I boot one of my encrypted A,B,C,D,E installations
which can all access the common encrypted data in the T and U volumes.

It needs access to a microphone, camera, and the network. I
suppose you could call that a jail, but for programs, that's
pretty much everything except filesystems and root privileges.

Are you aware of Zoom using video calls for spying on, and, collecting personal 
information from, users, causing
