You can join Zoom meetings on your browser too. It's behind these twelve easy steps:

1. Go to zoom.com 2. Click "Join a meeting" 3. Enter meeting id and click Join 4. Ignore the automatic app download 5. Go back 6. Click "Join a meeting" again 7. Enter meeting id and click Join again 8. Ignore the app download again 9. Click at "If nothing prompts, click here" 10. Click "Join from your browser" 11. Agree to terms of service 12. Enter password and name, click Join

Yes, it actually requires you go back and try again at step 5. What dark pattern?

That's.... a thing of beauty. Honestly, it brings a tear to my eye.

If you are in awe of that, take a look at the official article about doing find and replace in MS OneNote:

What? That's crazy to hide such a useful feature!

The meeting host can enable the browser client link without the hassle in their settings. Unfortunately it's disabled by default.
