As I said I use zoom in one of my 32bit dogs. Sometimes I use Facebook Messenger - if you have a look on sites that give alternatives you will find alternatives.
In the long first years of Puppy was skype standard in Puppy (and in SliTaz, ISO yet now only 50 MB, Skype download extra...)!
it it easy to asser something
I did use skype at work years along. In some countries skype is the only one standard! You can as amateur use what you want as long you only play with your Puppy or use it only with your grand'ma!
«zoom» is possibly a new coming standard, if the actual lack or publication of thousand of private data don't afraid in the future the customer. It is not the right time to promote this application until we don't know what is the matter with the security!

why?
I also use frequently the BusterPup 32 bit non PAE from josejp2424 (thank you again josejp2424 for all 3 versions), a wonderful Puppy with really active Pulseaudio on my main laptop (see left margin). It is so fast that I would not need some 64 bit version...
...excepted for the applications like skype being now available in 64 bit! It is in the daily praxis the only one valid reason
(if my main purpose is to run the classic app's of Puppy!).
and I am lucky using that 32 bit distribution to help owner of older machines (also my machine is not new, more than 10 y. But it was at it's time a powerful machine. It compiles all the Linux base with X windows in only 10..12 h from the sources of LFS!) to get distros with all actual figures running on those older hardware.
(the only one problem with above 32 bit version, both, with and without PAE kernel is that Puppy destroy the user settings after remaster and the start makes always a stop on my computer before coming in X windows. The 64 bit version doesn't that error and starts really faster for this reason. And time is the only good that really nobody can buy or substitute through an other!)

Not quite correct... 20.04 Focal Fossa does provide some updated 32-bit packages - but a reduced number compared to Eoan Ermine - what is not offered anymore is a 32-bit iso.
but concerning ubuntu, the problems are to big now...
it is not enough to get a few number of fresh 32 app's (probably also all available in Debian SID as real *.deb packages...)
what will you do with them?
build that, what Ubuntu fans name "a monster" as you have no actual base any more!
rebuild / maintain / develop some kind of "neo base" for 32 bit ubuntu? nonsens!
and how to do that, with packages from Devuan or with old packages from obsolete versions from Ubuntu?
Ubuntu, Debian etc. did split Linux into old time Linux and a new Linux without compatibility with the old ones!
In Debian actually, you can partially continue to get a coherent 32 bit Linux distribution under using systemd...
Deepin did kill the 32 bit version last year.
Devuan also will kill the 32 bit version.
LFS ok, but Puppy Linux developers ar ... news]NuTyx, it is LFS stuff ready to use packaged as binaries
(and self compilable if you prefer to begin at this stage (see above 10..12 hours from organized sources from NuTyx depository for base, kernel and just X). If you really want to do it, ask at the English forum from NuTyx as the fans of that way are not numerous and the depository changes can disturb you heavily from day to day! If T.N. is aware some one works actually with it, he will probably be so friendly to help you and say to you what is now possible as well as how to begin).
Thierry Nuttens produces it since more than 10 y. as about one man show (Pierre supplies y. along only the KDE packages. Now divers other persons supply different other desk systems). As T. N. did produce all this time both 32 and 64 system as he has developed a system for the self compilation of LFS, this is not very difficult for him, he will probably continue so long LFS will produce compatible sources with or without systemd...

here are instructions to install ubuntu on a stick out an ubuntu live stick!)
a way is, as about all old SliTaz CD can start the newest online version from Slitaz
to enter in the actual SliTaz and install UNetbootin, available as package through the SliTaz Control Panel
and do that with UNetbootin
in this provisory version of SliTaz running in your RAM
.
In UNetbootin you can fill up the field with (probably) the name «size of the save capacity to preserve for data transfers from start tot start» (excuse me, I did do that in French). If the size selected by you (for ex. 5 x "9") is to high takes UNetbootin automatic all the rest capacity...
ok, it is not a solution with Puppy but with SliTaz
