Zoom crashes on Linux ~15 minutes into a call

Since I can remember, zoom crashes around 15 minutes into a call (entire app crash). So I use the browser instead, which is fine, but it doesn't support the nice virtual background.

How does a web conferencing technology with so much market share crash on Linux?

Version of zoom (though I've periodically tried the zoom client since maybe a year ago, and it always has the same behavior - crashes after 15 minutes into a meeting.)

zoom version:
zoom-5.10.7-1

uname -r
5.17.7-arch1-1-surface

sudo dmesg | grep zoom
audit: type=1701 audit(XXX): auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=100 ses=1 pid=52784 comm="play_webrtc" exe="/opt/zoom/zoom" sig=24 res=1

    Yeah. It even happened to me. It crashes within 5-10 minutes of the start of the meeting. And it crashed almost  3 times this week. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 on my system. My current version of Zoom is  5.10.7 (3311).
