Feature Request: Auto-Open Zoom by datetime #13

Description

@fabian-rudolf

Hello Zoom Calendar team,

thanks for the Zoom Calendar; I'm using it daily.

It would be an appreciated feature from my side to be able to trigger opening the link automatically at the time shortly before the meeting starts (N minutes before, e.g. default 3 minutes), so you automatically have the meetings you need opened by your browser.

Opening link could probably be done in JavaScript by this logic in pseudocode:

function openZoomLinksTimeTriggers(enabled=true by default, n_minutes_before_start = 3 by default)
{
Every day:
    For each meeting in meetings:
        var opening_time = meeting.start_time + n_minutes_before_start;
        openLinkAtDesiredTime(opening_time);
}

function openLinkAtDesiredTime(opening_datetime){
    time_until_opening_meeting = opening_datetime.getTime() - Date.now();
    var timeout= setTimeout(function(){
// put meeting password to clipboard

// open link to Zoom
window.open(meeting.link, '_blank');

}, time_until_opening_meeting);
}

(adapted from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4455282/call-a-javascript-function-at-a-specific-time-of-day)

I might have the chance to start working on this, too, in the following weeks but wanted to suggest this idea already as maybe someone else want's to work on this already before me.

My kindest regards,
Fabian
