I have to use Zoom for a online class and I was wondering how I can make my Zoom experience more private? Is there a Zoom client that I can use like how there are privacy-focused Discord clients? What privacy tips would you recommend?

run the thing on an isolated container/vm? not much else you can do, your face/audio can't be hidden anyway

How complicated is it to run a isolated container/vm? I would say my tech skills are above average, but wouldn't consider myself tech-savvy.
