Not sure whether they officially allow it or not but I don't see why not. A ZOOM meeting uses no more or less bandwidth then watching a YouTube video or using Facetime or Skype. I would think their routers are setup to limit each IP address to a set max bandwidth anyway. Whether you have 1 or 100 persons on the meeting (unless they are all sitting in the rec center) your own device is still using the same minimal bandwidth. My daughter did a zoom meeting on a train traveling thru the Alps from Germany to Italy with no issues other than some delay due to propagation issues (the train used satellite internet).
