Hello  
I want to link to Zoom.  
I am using this guide:

> **[Zoom Client URL Schemes - Guides - Documentation](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/guides/client-url-schemes)**
>
> Zoom Client URL Schemes
> 
> When integrating your application with Zoom, you can use a URL protocol (ex: zoomus:) instead of https:// to start or join...

  
There is a problem with the protocol because the user agent in the browser recognizes the iPad and laptop as Macintosh. The zoommtg protocol does not work with an iPad and the zoomus with a laptop. Can’t create one protocol for mobile and desktop devices? How to solve this problem?  
best regards

Hey @rafik73,

Thanks for reporting this. We will investigate the issue.

In the meantime, please use the start\_url and join\_url to open the meeting / webinar in the Zoom App.

Thanks,  
Tommy
