When I have a video conference with Zoom or WebEx, I prefer to use the web version of the client. However, the meeting links always directs me to a page that auto downloads the desktop client. Is there a way to prevent a site from automatically downloading a file like this? There is a setting in Chrome to disable automatic downloads, but it is only to prevent sites from downloading multiple files automatically.

If you can't find an answer for Chrome, Safari can do this, per site, in prefs/websites/downloads… Allow/Deny/Ask as global or site-specific settings– TetsujinJun 26, 2020 at 14:48

1the zoom invites usually include two links, the one which redirects to the client and the web version....– ZinaJun 26, 2020 at 15:07

1Most browsers can be set to ask if a download should begin. And yes, many Zoom users only send the link, which causes that annoyance.– DrMoishe PippikJun 26, 2020 at 16:37

This might be the only way to achieve what I want.– RHPTJun 26, 2020 at 22:51
