Exit app when I close the window

Is there a fix to Zoom not closing when you click the X?  I do not want this program to stay open on my computer, regardless of how the Zoom developers feel.  This is garbage design, not letting a customer close the application.  If I click the X, it should close, end of story.

I agree. I use Zoom once a week and it's ridiculous that it stays active during the week when I don't need it, and it's a chore to have to right-click and choose exit each time. Almost every other program in existence has a toggle that allows us to choose whether we want this functionality... except Zoom.
