That won’t quite work as I need to register the uri with Zoom, it can’t be just some random URL. I created a feature request

I want to enable Zoom support, but I am unable to because Zoom api does not support localhost as a redirect uri. I need this as I spin up a local http server in the background which will kick off the OAuth flow. Is this something that could be lit up with little effort?
