I occasionally participate in Zoom calls using my Android tablet, and everything Just Works(tm). I'd like to do the same on my desktop with Fedora, but despite testing three different cheap webcams the big issue is always with the sound. I can hear the other people perfectly, and the video is fine, but the audio from my side is muddy and nearly impossible to understand. I've tried with and without headphones in case it's a feedback issue (though not using the headphone mic). It doesn't make any difference. Surely not all the webcam mics can be so bad? How would anyone ever use them?
I've use Zoom and Teams on my Fedora laptop. Using the builtin webcam and laptop microphone, I haven't had any complaints about the audio. More recently, I've been using a headset and that's been fine too. I would definitely recommend a headset over the webcam mic. I didn't realize that external webcams generally even had microphones.
A good test would be to use audacity to record some audio and then you can see for yourself what it sounds like.
