Stop Pasted URLs Converting to Page Name
Zoom Workplace recently updated to version 7.0.5 and while some of the unwanted changes were easy to fix - I don’t use a touchscreen computer, so defaulting to fat-finger mode instead of compact layout is frustrating - there is one thing that I cannot find a setting for and the manual steps to undo it every single time are also not user-friendly. That being when I paste URLs now, rather than simply becoming a link the URL is replaced with the pre-fetched title of the destination web page.
If I wanted to do this, there is already a button to make “custom” links. Undoing it every time I paste a URL - so the recipient can easily see the URL, as well as the page title if they have exercised their user choice to enable link previews - is a completely unnecessary extra few clicks on a hovering toolbar that frequently jumps away as I’m about to click on it. The fact it doesn’t remember that I’ve set it to “link” is incredibly frustrating.
Also, with the ever-increasing risks of phishing, hiding the URL by default is not very security-conscious.
How do I stop Zoom from rewriting my messages without my consent?
