Hey @edwinthinks,

If you are wanting to use the [Zoom Web Client](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/214629443-Zoom-Web-Client) for the meetings, then you can use the following join url and prefill the users name via a query param instead of the name input page:

`https://zoom.us/wc/{{meetindID}}/join?prefer=1&un=RWR3aW4=`

“Edwin” = `RWR3aW4=`

Make sure to [base64 Encode](https://www.base64encode.org/) the un value (which can be done programmatically in the coding language you use.

Let me know if that works for your use case! 🙂

If you are wanting to have the registered user join through the installed Zoom App, then the join\_url will open it and their name will be automatically included.

Although, if I click the link “join from your browser” then I will have to enter my name. The “join from your browser link” [can be turned off however](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005666383-Show-a-Join-from-your-browser-Link)!

> Hey Zeusstl, I believe the only way to accomplish this is with our meetings API: POST /meetings/{meetingId}/registrants Docs here: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingregistrantcreate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingregistrantcreate) This generates a unique url for the user and sends them an email to join the meeting. The only catch is the meeting has to be scheduled. (You can do this from your meetings web dashboard [https://zoom.us/meeting](https://zoom.us/meeting)) And the “Registration” setting must be set to “Required” Mor…
