Shutting down Zoom with command line

Is there any graceful way, as in a supported parameter, to shut down Zoom completely with command line or script? A user jumping between meeting platforms have issues with sound devices on Windows.

    Open notepad and save this as .BAT file

    # GO TO ROOT AND MAKE SURE IT IS IN THE MAIN C DRIVE
    C:
    cd C:/

    # END App Process
    taskkill /f /im "Zoom.exe" /t


    To run the script, just double click it.

      This is the point of (our internal) debate. And no, we don’t run MacOS. Will killing the process potentially corrupt something around Zoom data collection and integrity?
