If someone is curios this does not happen with Microsoft Teams. Just so you know.

It looks like we're setting all the correct hints to the WM about what type of window this is: https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel/blob/master/src/PanelWindow.vala#L39

So this might be a bug in Zoom, especially if it works correctly in MS Teams

It's worth checking if setting these properties outside of the Object call has any effect on Zoom before closing as "Out of scope" though

@danrabbit, I think it is the app developer's decision to explicitly include io.elementary.wingpanel The following is in OBS Studio 001

It may be possible that the guys at OBS would have wanted to power the user to select apps like io.elementary.wingpanel so that they could demonstrate the working of wingpanel and so on. Or another possibility I feel is, window captures using the XComposite API might cause all windows to be listed (Like in OBS). May be possible that the same thing happens in Zoom also.
