I have experienced similar issues with Zoom in Chromium under
amd64/7.5-stable: Webcam (USB) and audio (built-in or USB, though I
generally use a USB mic) work, but Zoom says that it can't detect a
microphone, so I can't un-mute myself. Oddly, running Zoom's built-in
recording test is successful. I did find a workaround for Zoom as I
discovered that if the Zoom host un-mutes me on their end, my microphone
works.

I used to have to run Chromium with WASM enabled for Zoom to function
properly, but it now runs fine in Firefox, so I don't even bother (and Zoom
likely changed something in their implementation.) I'd be curious if you
get different functionality with Slack in Chromium with WASM enabled.
