Maybe it’s just simple word play of “Zoom us” as in call us. As opposed to “Zoom me” which might be just for one person rather than group chat.

Do English speakers pronounce .us domains as dot us instead of dot u s?

It would only be pronounced as "uhhss" as part of a domain hack. Otherwise "you ess". Source: am from USA.

Noting that we British would always call our country "you kay" so .us would be derived from that. I suspect similar reasoning from Europe.

I also say 'dot you ess' and I was born in the USA.
