Mini Window pop out when you minimize

[Adminstrator]

It looks like Zoom has determined that the entire world is incorrect with the definition of "Minimize" and has taken it upon themselves to rewrite the definition, for their own purposes. When you click minimize and you expect it to, um, I don't know....MINIMIZE, it instead gives you a little useless window that has top focus above your other apps. 

Well, here is my personal opinion:  #FAIL

It's really just a bad idea.

How do I disable this annoying "feature"?

Please, for the love of God, just    MAKE.    IT.    GO.    AWAY.

It seems this awful feature can only be disabled on Linux, so Windows users are stuck with it.

On Linux:

Edit ~/.config/zoomus.conf and change the value enableMiniWindow=true to enableMiniWindow=false, and restart zoom.

This is a serious deficiency on Windows.  That stupid floating window is so beyond intrusive I can't believe there still isn't a way to disable this poorly designed behavior.

This annoying "feature" affects not only direct Minimize action, but also it does break second-time click on taskbar program button.

For all windows programs this second click hides window (to background?), but for zoom window it does activates this annoying mini-view mode

It also doesn't work well with virtual workspaces (on Linux, not sure about Windows or Mac). You switch to another workspace to lookup something quickly, then you go back to the original workspace thinking you'll be back to zoom, but no, it's now gone and you don't know what the hell happened to your meeting. You'll have to go back to that other workspace to find the mini window, expand it and move it again to the workspace it should be on. It gets worse when someone asks you a question during the meeting and you need to quickly go back to the zoom window to unmute. Very stupid "feature" indeed.
