I cast Zoom to my TV by mirroring my computer screen (and sound) with an Actiontec Screenbeam Mini device (it's an inexpensive miracast device) attached to my TV via an HDMI port. In addition, I have a webcam connected to my computer with a long cable and placed by the television. That way, when I'm looking at the TV screen, I am also looking at the camera. I keep the computer near me for access to the Zoom controls and to have the microphone near me as well. The miracast device is also useful any time you want to cast to your TV as when traveling or when you want to cast programming for which no app is available on your Smart TV, Roku, or FireTV and, unlike the Chromecast, no Internet or special application is required. It simply mirrors whatever is on your computer, tablet or phone. That said, apparently the Actiontec device is not compatible with Apple devices. If that is your need, their are other brands that might work.
