Based on zoom's "privacy" policy and everything I've herad so far about it,
I would not recommend using zoom. Some examples:
- Just a week or so ago it was exposed that zoom was sharing data with facebook
  without informing the user about it or giving any choice on that. Alledgedly
  they stopped it now [1]
- Zoom created Security-Holes with it's Mac-Client, that persisted even after
  deinstalling zoom on OSX. [2]  Personally I wouldn't trust their other clients 
  either.
- Zoom can collect more data about you then you might think and share this with 
  the meeting-creator. [3]

Jitsi has already been mentioned and while I only ever used it for smaller 
groups, from what I've heard it can also handle larger groups, though in that 
case you might need to host your own instance on a server with enough bandwith.
That's if just a simple video conference is enough for this use case.
