There is some shadow pattern where you need to refuse to install the app (or make it seems like the installation didn't work) and it will eventually give you a link to the web client. I'm not sure whether there is a reproducible way to get there.

Zoom links are of the form zoom.us/j/IDENTIFIER
Change the "/j/" to "/wc/join/" to get the web client.

This did work for me but I had to install Chrome, it told me to install a "modern, updated browser" in the most recent Firefox and Safari. I assume they are abusing some anti-user capability in Chrome but I trust it more than any Zoom client.

Here are the instructions: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005666383-Show-...
Click "no" on the invite when it asks to open zoom (instant if you dont have it installed) and underneath there is a link that goes to the web version.
Zoom is obviously an extremely scummy company and I’d rather stay away from it entirely. Unfortunately they must be dumping cash into marketing because it’s now the biggest thing in video conferencing. It’s a shame, they now seem to have network effect going for them.
