Hello,

I’m looking for a way to open the “Participants” pane in the “Client View” of Zoom Web.

I’m using the ZoomMtg join “success” method, and then use 🙂 (“span:contains(‘Participants’)”).click();

However, it works only when the “Participants” button is shown in the toolbar…  
Any other way to do it with Javascript?

Thanks

Hey @osdev,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Unfortunately, we don’t have a method to programmatically control the UI when it comes to the Client View. While we are working to expand what we offer with the component view, I don’t think this is on our roadmap just yet.

From here, I recommend posting in the [#feature-requests](https://devforum.zoom.us/c/feature-requests/23) category.

Thanks,  
Max
