Dear All,
We get from time to time, requests from our Linux based users that are wondering if Zoom desktop app could be deployed using an standard Linux repo e.g. [1,2].
Could this be implemented for the major linux distros: ubuntu, centos, debian, redhat?
Thank you

I’m also interested in this. Not sure if there are many/any others in the same boat.
I manage Linux desktops within our org, but there is no easy way to manage Zoom updates for those clients. Having zoom repositories would fix this.
This is desperately needed. There is nothing worse than trying to attend a Zoom meeting only to find that you cannot join until you download and install an update. Hosting the packages in repositories would ensure that the Zoom application is regularly patched along with the rest of the system software instead of as an unplanned surprise when one should be joining a meeting. For users who are not administrators, the lack of repositories poses an even larger problem.
I find it puzzling that the RPM & DEB build pipeline doesn’t conclude with automated deployment to a Yum/Zypper repo and an APT repo. The binaries are already being made available for download, hosting them in repositories is primarily a one time task to update the automation. Ongoing maintenance would be minimal, and mostly involve updating supported distribution release versions and GPG key management.
For fedora build rpm repo using bucket - by use this script:
