Zoom question

I have a family member who wants to use zoom for an online class. She wants to use my laptop. I never installed/used zoom because I think it is not safe to use. I know it is a USA company, but the development for zoom is done in China. I read that it secretly installs software on your device to spy on you and get information that may be in your device. Should I be concerned to install and use it or am I just being paranoid?

Zoom does not contain any spyware according to all of the information I have seen. I have it on my computers, along with millions of other users. If it did contain spyware, it is likely that security researchers would have discovered that by now.

JDC2000, that makes sense and gives me peace of mind. I appreciate the reply.
