[bug] Need to enter connection details twice in private mode
If I go to Chromium incognito/Firefox private mode and try to join a meeting with this extension enabled, I need to:
- input the connection details (display name and optionally password)
- accept Zoom's privacy policy
- input the same connection details again
Note that if I do a page refresh instead of inputing the details at step 1), Zoom automatically redirect me to the privacy policy page, so I imagine that this is due to some browser cookie(s) being set upon first connection to the zoom.us
domain, any way around this?
I'll try to dig into this tonight - thanks
@JCGoran when I join a meeting without cookies it directs me to enter my display name and then allows me to join. Are you still able to reproduce this?
Yes, on both Firefox (ESR 68) and Chromium (81), with the extension enabled and with a fresh profile (so other extensions can't interfere), once I enter the name, it redirects me to the privacy policy, and then I need to enter the name again, see the image below for what happens.
Going directly to the URL */wc/join/[NUMBER]
vs. the standard */wc/[NUMBER]/join
has the same effect.
Okay I think this has something to do with GDPR compliance, since I'm trying to connect from an EU country. I just tried connecting to the same meeting via VPN from various countries: Canada, Mexico, US, and on none of them have I been asked to accept the privacy policy.
Confirmed I could repro by exiting my traffic from Belgium.
Interestingly after the GDPR prompt going to /wc/join/<id>
is what prompts for the 2nd time, but going to /wc/<id>/join
does not prompt again.
I've pushed up the atetelman--gdpr
branch which redirects /wc/join/<id>
urls to /wc/<id>/join
which fixed the issue for me. Could you try it out and let me know if it works?
It works, but only if I don't set a password for the meeting. With a password in place, it prompts for it, then redirects to the privacy, then it goes back to the prompt.
