Some general tips for battery life

Power saving mode
Lower brightness
Close unneeded applications
Use wired microphones/speaker
off bluetooth
Use ethernet

Zoom specific
Zoom takes up battery life because it is constantly using the camera and receiving video, which uses a lot of connectivity
In a worst case scenario, turn off your camera and if possible minimise to a non video screen
