**Description**  
I integrate Zoom websdk in a page - when a try to join a meeting that has not yet being startet i get this react modal window which says “Meeting has not yet startet” Button RETRY + BUTTON ok.  
By click on “OK” leaveURL is set- page refreshes.

I am sorry for my low understanding but is there not another way ? I have only one page where my zoom-chat is integrated and i do not want that this page is redirected.  
I hide my navbar (which contains input forms + joing button) by success.

By error- my desired aim would be that i show this navbar again- and nothing else. no redirect.

**Which version?**  
CDN1.8.3

Hey @Milenoi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. There is currently no way to disable the leaveURL functionality inherent to the join() function. If this is a feature that you would like considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category.

If you are writing a Single Page Application, you should be able to set the leaveURL to the single index page that you are using although this will still cause a refresh when leaving the meeting.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,  
Max
