Currently the Windows Registry setting:  
[HKEY\_CLASSES\_ROOT\zoomus\shell\open\command]  
is updated with a Protocol definded as ‘zoom’  
which redirects to  
“C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\bin\Zoom.exe” “–url=%1”

Where is the document or please take a request to write a document that 🙂

Describes the method of ‘deep linking’ via the protocol ‘zoomus://’ to provide a value of the ‘url%1’ parameter, and what are the valid values of the parameter?

I tried the zoommtg URI on windows and it worked just fine. Thank you!

So dissapointed that this knowledge is now ‘secret’ and there is no documentation on it.

Now I know Zoom refer to the windows protocol registration as “URL Schema” I found a few posts relating to other requests for more documentation:

[Which Zoom Client URL Schemes parameters are required? - #6 by will.zoom](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/which-zoom-client-url-schemes-parameters-are-required/33484/6) responded to by @will.zoom I wonder whether the information provided was documented [https://developers.zoom.us/docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs)

Who at Zoom Dev will release the documentation? @will.zoom ?
