The above list of USE flag is not comprehensive. Use equery (part of app-portage/gentoolkit) for a full list:

user $equery uses net-im/zoom

Emerge

To compile the naturally provided version based on system Keywords, just issue:

root #emerge --ask net-im/zoom

Enabling audio

If the system uses Pulseaudio, enable the Pulseaudio use flag. This should rectify issues of not being able to speak to people.

Enabling webcam

To access the webcam, the 'bundled-libjpeg-turbo' USE flag may need to be enabled. See bug #833951.
