I have installed Zoom on Ubuntu 22.04, but cannot login, since my browsers (any of them, firefox, chrome, brave) will not open Zoom by xdg tag zoommtg.

Some people had issues with the capital Z, but this is not my case (Xdg-open doesn't do anything, Zoom in Chromium,) Here are my settings:

$ xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler zoommtg
zoom-client_zoom-client.desktop

.desktop is stored at

/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/zoom-client_zoom-client.desktop

and executable is at

/snap/bin/zoom-client

Please advise. It's really an issue, since I cannot login using my institution, which means that I cannot login to Zoom using my account.

Edit: xdg works for other apps, so I guess it's a Zoom problem.

I removed zoom-client from snap, sudo snap remove zoom-client, then installed an un-sandboxed version of zoom using a .deb file following info from this site: https://www.how2shout.com/linux/how-to-install-zoom-client-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts-linux/

That worked for me, now I can launch zoom with a zoom link from my company.
