Zoom for linux requires sudo to run on arch -based system

I have been trying to install zoom for linux on an archlinux based system, EneavourOS.  I am following the instructions here https://support.zoom.com/hc/en/article?id=zm_kb&sysparm_article=KB0063458.    I downloaded the latest version via

curl -L https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.gz -o zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

then ran

sudo pacman -U zoom_x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

The installation proceeded without error, but when I try to run zoom nothing happens at all.  No GUI, no error message, nothing.  On a whim I tried "sudo zoom" from a command line, and it works!  It seems  zoom requires root privileges to run.   That seems wrong to me.

I thought maybe there is a group I need to belong to to have the correct privileges, but I added myself to nearly all groups that seemed relevant and that didn't help.  

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light!

Some details in case they are relevant:

- zoom client version: 6.2.6 (2503)

- EndeavourOS version "Neo" (the latest)

- lxqt desktop

- hardware: lenovo thinkpad X1 gen 6
