Getting Webinars (eg Zoom) to open in your browser

Glean can record your audio direct from your webinar. To do this you will have to make sure that your meeting is open in a 2nd browser tab, rather than using their desktop application.

N.B. If you are a  Windows user you can either follow the instructions below, OR follow the instructions on recording from desktop applications (Windows only)

If the system you are using is not listed here, let us know and we can update this article to include it!

Join a Zoom Meeting in a browser:

You can always force Zoom to open your meeting in your browser.

The meeting organiser may have configured the session to default to use the Zoom desktop client. If this is the case:

4. When the prompt appears click 'Cancel':
