CentOS - Feb 2023 - C7, removing zoom problem

well, as one of the earlier posters showed how, I did remove the existing
one then installed the new one (the one that Zoom offers for Centos-7, not
the one for Centos-8, which has the problem you describe) and voila, works
like a charm!

Yes but that's the old version - 5.13.4.711 not the latest 5.13.7.683.
"Check for Updates" will tell you there's a new version but
you'll be
stuck with that old version until you upgrade from CentOS 7 to
something newer.
