All this sounds familiar, launching zoom meetings from zoom itself has
been pretty hit-and-miss for me. It makes a difference if
QT_ACCESSIBILITY is set in the environment but sure doesn't solve everything.

But the shortcut keys have worked for me more reliably on recent
versions. that one is alt-a, alt-v for video. things that might
require sidebars like chat and participants seem much more flaky.

I think it's that zoom still hasn't taken advantage of the
accessibility of QT5 libraries.

this one I have got to work
At a terminal prompt what happens when you type
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/zoommtg
Mine returns
zoom-client_zoom-client.desktop
For the version of zoom I'm using I had to set this manually with
xdg-mime default Zoom.desktop x-scheme-handler/zoommtg
After that clicking on a link in an email or page will usually launch
it directly.>
