Open Zoom, Teams, and Spotify links in their Mac apps
Skip the browser tab that just asks to open the app.
The short answer
Zoom, Teams, and Spotify links usually open a browser tab that then asks to launch the app. With Prefer native apps turned on, Bouncer hands those links straight to the app you have installed, so a meeting link puts you in the meeting, with no leftover browser tab to close. Sign-in pages for apps like Zoom, Teams, and Figma stay in your browser.
How to set it up
- Install Bouncer and make it your default browser.
- Turn on Prefer native apps in Bouncer’s General settings.
- That’s it for built-in apps: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Discord, Spotify, Figma, Notion, Linear, Loom, Miro, Telegram, and WhatsApp.
- Want some of those links in a browser after all? A rule always wins over the native app setting.

No. Zoom and Teams only get meeting links. Sign-in pages stay in the browser, where they work.
