Prevent Zoom.us pop up "Get an app for 'zoommtg' link"

Question

Every time I join a Zoom meeting, this pops up. (Get an app to open this 'zoommtg' link

I don't want to install the Zoom app but always join from the web browser. Can I prevent this window pop up?

The OS in Windows 11. The web browser is Google Chrome 110.0.5563.64

What I have tried

I tried to set the default app for opening .zoommtg link to Google Chrome rather than Zoom app. After setting as the below screenshot, however, it still try to open Zoom Windows app when I click the 'Launch meeting' button.

Answer 1

Not really an answer but I can't show the image in a comment.

I don't think you can do what you are trying. Because Chrome does not know how to handle the .zoom or .zoommtg files. If you don't want that popup then (like me) you can install zoom. But then you get a different popup like this (even when clicking on a URL).

You can get rid of that by ticking the checkbox.

Answer 2

Open registry editor

Right click on "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT", New > Key

rename to "zoommtg" (no dot since its a protocol not a filetype)

Right click on "zoommtg", New > String value

Rename to "URL Protocol"

Additionally i wrote the following javascript that lets you see the "Join from Your Browser" button:

let jfyb = ("<h3 class=\"rm-presentation\"><span>Having issues with Zoom Client? <a web_client=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Join from Your Browser</a></span></h3>")
let buttons
let tries = 1
let intervalBtn = setInterval(tryGetButtons, 10)
function tryGetButtons(){
    if(++tries > 1000) clearInterval(intervalBtn)
    if(buttons == undefined) { 
        buttons = document.getElementsByClassName("pUmU_FLW")[0]
    } else {
        clearInterval(intervalBtn)
        if(!buttons.innerHTML.includes(jfyb))
            buttons.innerHTML += jfyb
    }
}

You can use this chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-javascript-and-css/nbhcbdghjpllgmfilhnhkllmkecfmpld to add it to the https://zoom.us/j/ site.

I also added this css:

body{
    filter: invert(1) !important;   
    background-color: black;
}

to prevent the eye burning white of the join meeting page.

Hope this helps.
