The reason I bring up this webcam article is because Eric Yuan initially wanted to sell only to the corporate world but I believe he is giving in to the retail tsunami that covid-19 unleashed.
This custom webcam system lets you take Zoom calls on your TV from your couch
Crestron, Zoom, and Logitech have teamed up on a new in-home conferencing system
Crestron, which offers services to help people customize their smart homes, has teamed up with Logitech and Zoom to make an at-home video conferencing setup using technology you’d typically find in an office conference room.
The setup could, for example, let you use your living room TV and a conference room-quality video camera to take Zoom meetings while reclining on your couch instead of being hunched over a laptop. That could be a much more comfortable way to take meetings or host group calls with family and friends while at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.

BTW, if someone buys this Crestron system, how likely is he/she/it to pay the Zoom fee?
Found at TMF’s Apple User’s Group board:
Using Zoom on your TV…
I hook my 2012 Mac book pro to my big screen to use zoom every week. It is our main tv and is bound to be over 8 years old. I use an HDMI cable and an adaptor to plug it into the laptop.
The limitation is that the camera and microphone are on the laptop, not the tv, so I need to stay in front of the laptop so I can talk and be seen. But I am always looking at the tv screen, I like the size. And zoom gives you the option of getting the audio output through the HDMI cable, so I hear through the TV speaker bar.
It only takes a minute to hook it up then discontent when done.
