Jerf is presumably not using wayland nor a Zoom developer, so not knowing whether something works on some other random system (as in "not used by me") isn't exactly a problem with Linux.

This can happen on all systems.
My HP-recommends-windows-11 laptop had a "my webcam is not detected" issue for a full year after I bought it. It worked fine out of the box on Linux, so the hardware wasn't defective.
My it-just-works MacBook Pro became terribly laggy and had blinking patches on the external screen after some update. Hell, I even knew what the issue was (botched nvidia drivers) but there wasn't much I could do about it.
A different it-just-works MacBook Pro had the "my screen is black" issue. I also knew what the issue was – shoddy soldering job of the GPU. Nothing I could do about it except, paradoxically, slap a Linux on it which could be convinced to not turn on the dGPU and would happily run on the iGPU exclusively.
Computers just suck sometimes.
