Important: For your information, Zoom meetings' embedded version has some issues, they are working on it. For now, we advise you to use Zoom webinar. If you still want a videoconferencing tool we advise you to use Jitsi or if you prefer Zoom meetings and you're having issues, consider using it with their app directly and not the embedded version (and send the Sparkup link before via email or in directly in Zoom's chat).
