However in joining a meeting earlier today (early October, 2022) using XP + 5.0.5 I had no audio (despite the menu option 'Test speaker and microphone' incorrectly confirming that audio was functioning correctly).

Mid July, 2022 I used an XP SP3 device + 5.0.5 to successfully join a Zoom meeting.

One might well wonder why this would be all be the case if Zoom had entirely abandoned XP way-back-when. That is all true as of the date of this reply. And you can use it to enter a test meeting (at ). 5.0.5 as a file named 'ZoomInstallerXP.' And if you download it, it will install. Note however if you attempt to join a meeting using an XP device, Zoom will offer to download a client installer for v. Yes, officially Windows XP has been stated as not supported for quite some time.
