Zoom for Linux Fails to Open Meeting Link

[ebsf]

So, Zoom supposedly installed.

I click on the meeting link in an e-mail, Firefox opens and asks for an application to open the link.

Now, what?

I just installed Zoom, so why doesn't a file/link association exist?

I navigate to /opt/zoom and double-click on the zoom file, and nothing happens.

How does one join a Zoom meeting in Linux?

I just learned that, because Ubuntu 22.04 installs Firefox in a snap, Zoom can't function in that environment.

The devs better get working on that.

Even from the command line, it doesn't work - you can run

zoom "https://zoom.us/j/<id>?pwd=<password>"

 and this doesn't work. Zoom opens to the UI as if you hadn't specified the URL. Nothing interesting in the logs - it gets the correct command line, starts the zoom, process, spits out some complaints about PulseAudio not running (sound isn't an issue once joining the meeting though).

I am not missing any libraries

ldd /usr/bin/zoom

The only bit of the logs that gave me pause was "Error: Send error, 22 Invalid argument", but that has been around for ages.

Same issue here, Ubuntu 20.10 with Flatpak Zoom (the only one which works for me) and Snap-free Firefox.
I usually copy the Meeting ID and the Password out of the URL to paste it in the Desktop app. Annoying, but works.
