Thanks for pointing this out. Is there any way to confirm if it was successfully killed?
I'm not so agile with the command line yet, and there was no confirmation of any sort, only a brief pause after running the command. Do you know where any files would be stored, to go and see if anything is still there?
I'm glad I physically cover my camera with a sticker; you never really know if even well-meaning apps are watching you.
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.

Forgot to mention that once you do this, any time you click a Zoom meeting link, it will no longer launch. All you need to do is copy the meeting ID in the URL and manually open Zoom and then paste the meeting ID in to start the meeting.
I don’t mind; I wasn’t planning on using it again (ever). I thought I had uninstalled it months ago, because I only really used it once or twice.
And either way I’d rather copy-paste a number or use a different service, than have an open invitation to my camera and microphone.
Thanks again for going into detail on this, I hope others will benefit from these comments too 😊

After running those commands, run
lsof -i :19421
and it should return nothing.Nothing returned, indeed. Thanks again!
