This page: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/client-url-schemes](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/client-url-schemes)

Now says:  
“Deprecated: Client URL Schemes  
External support for direct client URLs has been removed. For any questions, pleases contact [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us).”

So does this mean that zoommtg:// to startup desktop client will no longer be used in the future, or what exactly do you mean? (I note this isn’t the case for govt zoom here: [Zoom Client URL Schemes - Guides - Documentation](https://marketplace.zoomgov.com/docs/guides/guides/client-url-schemes))

Thanks,

Mike

Hey @mb_j,

That’s correct, the client URL schemes will soon be removed and are currently deprecated except for the case of Zoom for Government accounts. For more information, please send an email to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) with a link to this thread and we’ll follow-up there.

Thanks,  
Max

@MaxM Is there any recommended alternative for client url? Should an user always face a zoom web page during cross app navigation?

> Hey @mikhail.emchenko , Like @timfuhrmann mentioned, you can use the join\_url and start\_url returned from the [Create](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate) and [Get](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting) Meeting endpoints to open the Zoom app and join or start the meeting respectively. Thanks, Tommy

Thanks,
