"Zoom wants to display a new window." new window never loads

[swvajanyatek]

I'm trying to authenticate with zoom inside of the outlook app so that I can create zoom meetings as part of createing an outlook calendar event. However, when I get prompted with "Zoom wants to display a new window." and I click yes, a new window opens but nothing loads. The service then freezes and has to be reloaded, discarding the event draft.

What is going on here?
