The name on that zoom info is also a clue. If it had come from a
fedora/redhat/centos repository it would have a repository indicator
"fc33", "fc34", "el7.<rh/centos>" on the package name. Zoom has
packages available for a range of linux releases available from their
web site, but as with slack, I've not found a repository reference
that can be added to dnf so you need to download their package and do
a local install.

This reminded me to ask: I've installed Zoom through the RPM on their
website, and it seems to occasionally update with the rest of my
system's packages via Gnome Software. I installed the RPM manually, but
can an RPM install its own repository or other update source, or am I
misinterpreting things?

I do not know of any repo with zoom in it. I use a script like this to install zoom updates:

#!/bin/bash

URL="" href="https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_x86_64.rpm" class="">https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_x86_64.rpm

cd ~/Downloads

rm -f zoom_x86_64.rpm

curl --location --remote-name --silent --show-error ${URL}

INSTALLED=$(rpm -q zoom)

LATEST=$(rpm -qp zoom_x86_64.rpm)

if [ "${INSTALLED}" = "${LATEST}" ]

then

    echo "Info: Zoom is up to date. Version: ${INSTALLED}"

else

    echo "Info: There is a new version of zoom. Installed ${INSTALLED} latest ${LATEST}"

    mv zoom_x86_64.rpm ${LATEST}.rpm

    if [ "$1" = "--install" ]

    then

        echo "Installing new Zoom version"

        sudo dnf install ~${USER}/Downloads/${LATEST}.rpm

    fi

fi

Outputs this when there is no new update:

$ ./check-for-zoom-updates.sh

warning: zoom_x86_64.rpm: Header V4 RSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 61a7c71d: NOKEY

Info: Zoom is up to date. Version: zoom-5.7.28991.0726-1.x86_64
