Using Quicktime and Soundflower to record Zoom Meetings... Sound won't record, but does when I try to screen record YouTube as a test

I am trying to record my professor's Zoom meetings using Quicktime. I won't get into it, but the inbuilt recorder Zoom provides isn't an option. I installed Soundflower and created the following multi-output device:
I then select the multi-output device for output:
Then in Quicktime, I select Soundflower (2ch)
With these settings selected, I have tested using YouTube and successfully recorded audio and video. But when I use the same settings to record our Zoom meetings, I only get video and no audio. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Make sure your Zoom is not using the speakers directly. It should also be set to use Multi-Output Device (or Same as System if you have set Multi-Output Device in Sound Preferences).
Hello, my apologies for jumping in here. I'm also trying to record Zoom meetings, recording just the audio would be enough - but they are meetings in which I am a participant. That means I need to record what Zoom would play on the speakers, but also my own voice (from the microphone). Is that at all possible? Googling terms like "record zoom soundflower" returns lots of hits, but none seem to help with this seemingly basic/natural requirement. Thanks for any assist.

Why Zoom? simple use a dedicated Server and use Jitsi.
Not my choice, unfortunately. If it were my choice we'd probably use ordinary voice calls.
