Last time I used it, I had to log in to be able to join in my browser, and then couldn't see more then one feed at a time.

Kind of limiting, especially compared to jitsi for example.

Last time I had a Zoom meeting these were the steps to a browser join link:

1. Go to zoom.com 2. Click "Join a meeting" 3. Enter meeting id and click Join 4. Ignore the automatic app download 5. Go back 6. Click "Join a meeting" again 7. Enter meeting id and click Join again 8. Ignore the app download again 9. Click at "If nothing prompts, click here" 10. Click "Join from your browser" 11. Agree to terms of service 12. Enter password and name, click Join

Needless to say, I prefer Jitsi or even Google Meet.

To be fair, Zoom does their best to conceal this. On MacOS at least, you have to download their installer twice, ignoring it each time, before it lets you connect using the web client.

Awful dark patterns like this should be illegal.

I wish I knew that before I installed it. Does the MacOS uninstall actually remove all traces of Zoom at this point?
