I'm not recommended to snap to install zoom. Because of a lot of time, your zoom application is crashes, and your user experience is not so good.
Suppose you install a Debian-based zoom application in your ubuntu. I strongly recommend installing the app directly and not using any third-party package manager like snap or flatpak.
