Zoom does a pretty good job of hiding the link to join a meeting with your browser, only showing it (quickly) after you download their installer, and more often after a delay of several seconds. I poked around briefly and couldn’t find any hidden links that I could expose by a quick console script, though I haven’t looked through their client-side JavaScript yet. Anyone have any shortcuts or bookmarklets to make it easier to launch a meeting directly in the web client?

Not sure if you can easily automate this, but changing user agent to ChromeOS based Chrime used to surface that link.
