Why is zoom prompting for permission to bypass system window picker on macos Sequoia 15.2 ?

I updated to Sequoia 15.2 this morning and after a meeting I noticed a pop dialog in the background where zoon.us was requesting permission to bypass the system private window picker and directly access my screen and audio.  I believe this is a new permission/restriction in Macos but I wanted to see if anybody has run into this and what they selected?

I have the same question. I was at the meeting and by mistake clicked "yes" to give the permission, but I don't like it. We already have close to zero privacy, what else Zoom wants? The only reason I am using Zoom is because it got promoted during Covid among big corporations and now most people have Zoom. Otherwise, Skype is better.

Same question... and possibly more an Apple issue than Zoom per-se, but Zoom should address it as well.

 

I have a feeling since it came with an upgrade to Sequoia, that nothing has actually change on a practical/permissions level, and that Sequoia just has new/different wording to allow the same level of access you already had before, but I cannot confirm that, and it sucks having to hunt that info down.
