I have the exact same issue with joining a meeting. We use gsuite, so most meetings will have a zoom link in the subject or description. The order of operations for joining our daily standup is:

-> Click on link in calendar

-> Accept confirmation that the link is taking you offsite (Google's fault, admittedly)

-> Accept browser pop-up to allow me to open zoom app on MacOS

-> Then start with all of the other audio shenanigans listed at the start of the article.

Even with my zoom settings configured so that I don't need to confirm my audio settings every meeting, this is still far too many steps. There are likely ways to avoid the calendar-link steps by using the zoom desktop client's built-in scheduling calendar better, but I don't want to keep zoom running in the background all day (for a variety of reasons).
