This has worked well, but I noticed that first-time users in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox will see Zoom.pkg getting downloaded automatically by their browser.
A feature request: I’d like to add a download=false parameter to the Join URL (example: https://zoom.us/j/111222333?download=false) to prevent that automatic download from happening. Would that be possible? This would help build trust with users who would not expect the download to happen.
Thank you for writing @tommy. I gave your suggestion a shot, but I don’t think it will be sufficient.
With the Web client join link I noticed that Zoom opens up in the browser, but if I pass in the regular join URL I can make the app open (preferred because it’s a more immersive experience).
Is there another work around? If not, can we create a new feature request for adding a download=false parameter to the join URL? Thank you!
I am confused about your use case. Do you want your users to use the Native Zoom App installed on their machines? What if they do not have the app installed?
For opening the Native Zoom App directly, checkout this article:
Hello @tommy, some users will not have Zoom installed, so I can’t use the “zoomus:” protocol.
If they don’t have Zoom installed, then I’d like nothing to happen so they can then then click the help button in our UI. Once they do that, they will have an easy way to download Zoom.
I think this is a better experience than having each user experiencing an unexpected download.
Hello Tommy, if I go to this link (substituting the meeting ID and password) in the browser, should Zoom open?
zoomus://zoom.us/join?confno=123456789&pwd=xxxx
Instead when I put that in Chrome and Firefox, I’m taken to Google. In Safari I see “Safari can’t open the specified address”.
Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Thank you!
HI Tommy,
I want zoom meeting detail or just a join button on my Html website. I dont need a Client on my website. So when user clicks on Join it will redirect to meeting or registration form.
