Sure, but saving a click or two when joining zoom meetings for mac users that don't use the native calendar app doesn't really scream "hair on fire"...


I ended up building my own solution to this because I regularly miss meetings by minutes and want a one-click solution to jump into meetings (I can have up to 10 a day) even though I use the native Calendar app.

I saw this and it resonated deeply with me. It's an exceedingly small paper cut, but a paper cut nonetheless.


The Zoom client has already a built in calendar integration. Once connected, it will show you all upcoming meetings for the day including a button to join the call. It's quite convenient.


As someone who has to have zoom, teams, and webex meetings with clients I would enjoy a tray item that would just organize all those into a lista and have one click access the task tray, integration with various calendars (mainly icloud and google) would be even nicer. Even if it just summed up my week. Extra points for cross platform. seems as if someone probably hasn't already built in emacs probably :)


It's not just a click or two when we are joining several meetings in a day. Personally I'm annoyed by repetitive tasks that are slow due to external factors. Joining a meeting through Meet on Chrome involves - 1. Open a new tab on the right user profile 2. Navigate to meet.google.com (second slowest task) 3. Click on a meeting. Wait for it to be setup (slowest task) 4. Join. Wait for a couple of seconds for the stream to setup.

I would rather club multiple slow steps requiring user action into one long wait time that I can completely ignore.


Why don’t you just keep the meet tab open then?
