I have a HTML page with 10 different buttons where each button opens a different meeting. Is there a way I can make it open the meeting in the browser by default?

Hi @msiddhant22,

Please see my post here and let me know if this is what you’re looking for:

> [@Open meeting join url in app if installed else join from browser](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/open-meeting-join-url-in-app-if-installed-else-join-from-browser/30842/6):
>
> Hi @amesh @bkm @bmilburn , If you’re using the standard join\_url ([https://zoom.us/j/meetingId](https://zoom.us/j/meetingId)…), this should default to the app, if it is installed. However, if you wish to open in the web client instead, you can alter the join\_url to include /wc instead of /j. More simply put, you can use our Web Client as the join\_url without leaving the website by replacing /j/ with /wc/ : [https://zoom.us/wc/{meetingID}/join](https://zoom.us/wc/%7BmeetingID%7D/join). Let me know if this is what you’re looking for! Thanks, Will

Thanks,  
Will

I tried this. Editing the URL from /j/ to /wc/ and I was taken to an error page. A guy looking through a spyglass.

Hey @msiddhant22,

Can you try using this URL and replacing `{meetingId}` with your ID and `display_name` with the desired user name:  
`https://zoom.us/wc/{meetingId}/join?prefer=1&un=display_name`

Let me know if this gives you better luck!

Best,  
Will

Thank you for replying.  
Unfortunately not. I tried hosting the meeting and join through another sample HTML page where I tried inputting the URL you suggested and this was the error I got.

 ![Untitled](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/d/c/dc8208234a52d5170ee59cd5b10da5580651306b.png)100%75%50%

These links would pre-scheduling meetings that hosts would wait and a random user/multiple users would join through the click of a button.

Hey @msiddhant22,

The screenshot that you’ve shared actually looks like it might be related to waiting room settings/hosting concurrent meetings. Are you trying to host more than 1 meeting with the same host? I should note that this isn’t currently possible—you’ll need to have unique hosts to hold meetings at the same time.

Thanks,  
Will

I am not trying to do that. I hosted the meeting and tried joining through another laptop. Unless the link you suggested tries to host another meeting, I don’t think I was intending to do that.  
I hope you understand my question.  
I’ll re-iterate for clarifications sake. I have multiple buttons on a page and each button will have a pre-scheduled meeting with a host waiting. Every user who joins with the button, will join a meeting with a person already waiting. I want to force them to join via a web client.

Hey @msiddhant22,

Thanks!
