One hopes so. But I had to install the zoom deb package via root.
Since it is closed source, who knows what the package might do?

It is probably safe since zoom would have a lot to lose if there was
anything dubious in there, and many experts had tried to check.

Maybe running zoom on a live image would be safer, but even there
root has access to permanent storage.
