Zoom and WebEx both have this if you install the plugins, as well.

Don't know about zoom, but webex meetings get a "join" button in my outlook web client. I don't have any kind of plugin installed, and I even run this on Firefox on Linux.

Yeah, “seamless integration with other Microsoft products” is a pretty big exception, I will admit.

But Zoom sends calendar invites that Google Workspace understands, so they automatically appear on my calendar and have this feature. And I don't even think either party did anything to facilitate it. It's just how iCalendar invites work.

Ha! "Joining from a single click in my calendar view" has a 50/50 chance of working, seemingly dependant on if MS' SSO is correctly sync'd behind the scenes when I click.

This works fine for me with Webex links from outlook, they send me to the right URL when I click join.
But What trips me up is that we have a sister company, which also uses Teams. For some reason, when they send invites, I have to open the meeting details and click on the link to join. This happens in both Outlook and Teams' calendar module.

> It has good outlook calendar integration;
It has enforced outlook calendar integration; by default you create a Teams meeting whenever you create a meeting, choosing to implement the meeting in a competing product is annoying at best.
It has good outlook calendar integration; joining from a single click in my calendar view is much nicer than having to open the occurrence & find the zoom link.
