I'm going to have to go on some remote interviews sometime soon. I don't know if Zoom is the way those are usually done or if they use some other software that's more purpose-built for that. But whatever the case, I'll definitely have to figure out how to run whatever it is "in jail" somehow.

I would recommend running untrusted proprietary software as a webapp if possible, it will not be able to be as intrusive in that case compared to native app even with all the sandboxing (flatpak, snap, etc...). Or Virtual machine as the most secure option, but it may be overkill.
