It is not really a need. More a desire! It is about a smooth experience, as soon as you link me to Zoom or Teams, I need to put up with their crap UX. For Zoom, that usually means an update just before the meeting (I join meetings 5 minutes earlier if I need to use Zoom), and for Teams, that is 10-15 minutes of testing, reinstalling, rebooting, practicing how to use it etc. Teams at work is probably OK, but teams for a job interview is terrifying.

1 - Would you use a calendar app offering basic web visio conference tied to the event link? 2- Do you expect high quality apps like meet and zoom to also handle calendar links?

Maybe the job interview niche as you pointed out is a good candidate for 1 no matter if the company also uses zoom or teams which is very interesting, I'll expand my investigation in this, it looks like zoom and some other popular service offer web integration so that could be a great combo (w/ calendar app) in term of easiness of implementation and market value
