Enabling or disabling Show "Always join from browser" option

Enabling the Show "Always Join from Browser" option when joining from join.zoom.us allows users to select the Always join from browser option, which takes them directly into the meeting in the Zoom Web App instead of the Zoom App launcher web page. This can be useful if users prefer to use the Zoom Web App, reducing the join flow from two clicks to one, or if they are unable to download the Zoom desktop app.

Note: Even with this setting enabled, if you click a Zoom Meeting link inside the Zoom App itself, the meeting will open in the Zoom App.
