That does sound annoying. Though to be fair, Apple has plenty of reason to distrust Zoom updates. I'm a bit surprised there's no way for Zoom to re-try screen recording without re-launching the app. Is that a fundamental limitation of Apple's security model, or a failure of Zoom?

It is all Apple. When you change a permission, MacOS forces you to quit and re-launch the app.

It's also all-app: they can change their homemade updater to a normal non-hidden updater and have normal signed distribution that doesn't require any of this re-auth.
