Unable to start zoom meetings/webinars from the web browser

When opening zoom on the browser and click start meeting from there, then Launch meeting - the zoom desktop app launches BUT the meeting itself doesn't. It just brings me to the front page of the zoom desktop app. I've tried reinstalling zoom and clearing cache - there was even a point where zoom asked me to download it every time - with no results.

I am able to launch the meetings from the desktop app but this becomes a hassle when using multiple accounts which are necessary for my work where we use, at the very least, 3 accounts. It becomes annoying having login-logout from the browser to modify/edit meetings and webinars only to login-logout on the desktop app just to launch.
To clarify one thing, I am freely able to join already running meetings from the browser, it solely doesn't work when starting the meet/webinar.
