For me, the issue was "Wayland" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol)) which I accidentally switched to on my login screen (KDE Neon) when I was having another, unrelated issue. I just switched back to "X11" on my login screen and the issue seems to be resolved.

This may be an issue with Wayland as @jcmcnch says - but Wayland has now been a default on both Gnome and KDE desktops for a while now and Zoom folks should have ironed out those bugs.  I have only experienced the same crash recently and now even with the most recent version of Zoom 5.12.2 (4816).  We are using Linux Fedora 36 with KDE Plasma 5.25.5 and Wayland. 

Tried disabling the hardware acceleration etc - that does not resolve the issue.  The problem appears to occur only when the host "admits" the invitee.  If the host does not set a passcode or the requirement to be admitted by the host - the program does not crash when joining the meeting.

I can confirm that this is related to the way Zoom interacts with Wayland.  It does not occur in an X11 session.  Curious, though, that it crashes in Wayland only when the host requires the client to be admitted.
