How the Zoom macOS installer does its job without you clicking ‘install’

Zoom's got a tradition of being, let's put it like this, way too clever for everyone's own good.

See previous “lets install a server on this Mac that is not removed when you uninstall the app and leaves your camera open to the entire internet” for more examples.

I use it on a VM, I suggest you do it too.

I use the web browser version, and refuse to even install Zoom. It's borderline spyware.

sunova.... I couldn't find the web based version...That's what frustrated me about zoom compared to webex. I could use Weber in the browser and zoom had to be installed

It's gated behind a fallback after three "failed" attempts at clicking on the link to open the app after opening a meeting URL, or a meeting setting. So, not on by default, seems to be unable to join audio unless you use Chrome, and shows a single video only.
