Best way of getting Zoom to run properly?

tl;dr The flatpack has known cross-distro issues, and a BoxBuddy install won't let me sign in to Zoom through Google, even after installing a browser in the container. What's the most straigthforward way of making Zoom work?

I'm not new to Linux—been using Ubuntu for years—but new to Fedora and Bazzite, so a lot of how packages work on here still feels esoteric when Flatpak isn't the way of installing them.

The flatpack for Zoom has major known issues that exist across distros that I've run into (scheduling meetings is broken, among other things). The only way I know to get a .rpm working on Bazzite is to install it through BoxBuddy (I'm on KDE). But when I click to log in to Zoom through Google, nothing happens. I added Chrome to the Fedora container, expecting it needed a browser in there, but it didn't solve the issue. Am I missing something? Is there a more straightforward way of installing a package on Bazzite when flatpacks aren't an option, besides Distrobox / BoxBuddy? What's the most straightforward way of having a functional Zoom install on Bazzite? Thanks!
