Instead of installing the Zoom software, join Zoom calls from within your web browser
With this trick you can join Zoom calls without ever installing the client on your computer.
Here's how to do it:
1) Uninstall the Zoom client if you have it installed (this is important).
2) When you get a Zoom link to join a meeting, click it to open it in your browser.
3) You'll be asked to download Zoom. Click the "download & run Zoom" link, but don't run the installer.
4) Wait for a few moments and a link to "join from your browser" will appear. Click this and join the call as normal. Most of the features work in this browser based version -- there is no need to ever risk your computer!
