Apple Calendar & Zoom links

Hello forum,


I have a lot of events in my apple calendar that include zoom links. However, if I click on the zoom link from apple calendar (on my Mac laptop or my iphone), the link always opens my browser where I have to click on another button before zoom will open the meeting for me.


Is there any way to click on the zoom link in apple calendar and have zoom open the meeting? Or will these links always send me first to my browser?


I should say I know that buying Fantastical is a workaround. I did that for the past year, and I’m wondering if that’s no longer necessary at this point…


Thanks, all.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.1

I liked using Fantasical but found, for my needs, that the non-subscription app Dato works great. It shows all my calendars (Exchange, iCloud, etc) and has keyboard shortcuts which really make it useful.


Relevant for you, you can open a Zoom meeting in two keyboard commands: 1. show the menubar calendar and 2) press "J" to join the call of the closest appointment. Works great.
