every teleconferencing app does this.

Teams will not show you a browser link until you download the web client.

webex will actively download a .exe (on my mac?) before showing the browser link.

When I see stuff like this, I think "market opportunity" but the status quo must be pretty profitable.

webex (1).exe

webex (2).exe

webex (3).exe

...

After a Windows update webex kept crashing and bringing my laptop down with it, so I started using the web app. My Downloads folder ended up with quite a few webex downloads. Now I have a script to clean them out each night.

Can’t you just block downloads for domain in browser?
