For joining a meeting [JoinParam](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-windows/structtag_join_param4_a_p_i_user.html) requires meeting Number and vanity ID provided. However, I am receiving a meetingUrl (which might as well be a personal meeting link) as a input and would like to join using that. So, is there a way to join using meetingUrl or some utility to extract Meeting Number and Vanity ID from the url ?  ---

Hi Harshad, Thanks for using Zoom SDK. May I inquire a sample of the meeting URL you are referring to? Our SDK only handles the required information in the start/join meeting parameters. If you are getting a meeting URL like [zoom.us/j/12345678910](http://zoom.us/j/12345678910), then you can parse the meeting number out of the URL and pass it to our SDK to start/join a meeting. Hope this helps. Thanks! ---

@carson.zoom Thank you for your reply. Actually, I was asking the original poster if he had any solution since it was an old post. Thank you for your pointer. It should help. Thanks Harshad ---

Hi Harshad, Thanks for your reply. Yes I understand. I would be more than happy to assist you for any SDK related questions you might have. Happy Zooming! Thanks! ---

Hi @carson.zoom, As you suggested to for meeting urls like [https://zoom.us/j/123445](https://zoom.us/j/123445), we can parse it and get the meeting number to pass to join params. However, personal links do not contain meeting number i.e. they are of format [https://zoom.us/my/abcd](https://zoom.us/my/abcd). So, how do you suggest, we join such meetings ? Thank You, Vasu Sharma ---

Hi [vasu.sharma](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/vasu.sharma), Thanks for the reply. Yes, you may use the vanity ID for this case: [https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-windows/structtag\_join\_param4\_a\_p\_i\_user.html#a262d038b77a3ad78e88f3b34cd38b8dd;](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-windows/structtag_join_param4_a_p_i_user.html#a262d038b77a3ad78e88f3b34cd38b8dd;) And you may find the definition of vanity ID/personal ID here:[https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362843-What-is-Personal-Meeting-ID-PMI-and-Personal-Link-](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362843-What-is-Personal-Meeting-ID-PMI-and-Personal-Link-) Hope this helps.
