How to exit zoom cleanly?

Question

If you click the close button on zoom, the window disappears but the process is still running. I find that highly annoying and it makes re-showing the zoom window again difficult under many circumstances.

So I resort to

killall zoom

Is there a simpler way to cleanly exit zoom?

Have you tried Ctrl-Q? It is the most common quit shortcut on Ubuntu AFAIK. — Ginnungagap, Jul 16 '20 at 10:39
Was trying to find a way to kill zoom without interacting with a mouse, seems that killall is the best option in that case. No shortcuts from Zoom are avail for such a mundane task — Igor Tiulkanov, Sep 13 '21 at 12:03

It moves up to the tray in the top right corner, you can click on the icon and click "exit".

This is what I was looking for. However I don't get that icon. Probably related to my desktop settings. I'll wait for a little longer before I accept this answer. – Captain Giraffe Jul 16 '20 at 18:48
Ok this works for me if I disable user themes and activate the ubuntu appindicators extension. – Captain Giraffe Jul 16 '20 at 19:24
Good to hear I could help :) – KilianAlias Jul 16 '20 at 20:22
What version of Zoom? I have 5.3.465578.0920 and when I click the close button Zoom just exits, the icon in the top panel disappears as well and there is no Zoom process left running. – raj Oct 03 '21 at 13:32
