Unable to click on hyperlinks shared in zoom chat during meetings

I use Zoom on a Mac...  when someones pastes a hyperlink into chat during a meeting, I am not able to open the link by clicking on it, rather I have to cut and paste the link into my browser.  Others in my meetings are not having this issue.  I have searched settings and help and have had no luck.  All my other chat products allow me to "click and go" to my browser.  Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, how were you able to resolve it?

    No, I canceled and only use GoogleMeet now since it is included in the Workspace package at $72yr. with domain email. I know that might not be an option for people whose jobs require Zoom.

    You'll have to set your default browser to chrome on windows for sure. Not 100% about mac or anything else but go to setting --> apps-->default apps--> search apps (search chrome)--> set to default browser

    On windows, you need to set chrome as your default browser: 

    1. On your computer, click the Start menu 
       
    2. Click Settings 
       
       
       
       Apps 

       

    3.  
       Default Apps
    4. Under "Set defaults for applications," enter Chrome into the search box 
       
       click Google Chrome.
    5. At the top, next to "Make Google Chrome your default browser," click Set default.
      • To make sure the change applied to the correct file types, review the list below the "Set default" button.
    6. To exit, close the settings window.

    Thanks. That might help some folks, but I am on Mac.

    Thanks. That might help folks using Windows, but not us Mac users.
