You can join most meeting from your browser. They employ multiple dark patterns to discourage this. Once you click the link it pops up a page that says it is launching the app. After a couple of seconds they give you another link to try again. If you click that it then shows a tiny link to view from your browser. Then you need to solve a captcha but then you are in and everything works well. I'm fearful that I'm being paranoid but if they want to use their native app that badly I'm pretty sure it is collecting some information that I don't want to share. I'll happily take the extra steps to keep them sandboxed in my browser. Honestly this is one of my favourite features of Google Meet and Jisti Meet. It is so easy to send a link to anyone and they are in the meeting in seconds.
