Join with custom name

[samueltkho0331 (Pneu Jai)]

Description
Hello I am new to zoom and when I click a url to join zoom, it joins without asking for the input of my user name, how do I have a link to join while asking for username.
Also, how do I have a link which auto enters the name for me like https://zoom.us/j/553584948?name=TheName
Really thank you for answering this.

It’s a little hidden:
As a guest, you can change your name during a zoom conference meeting. All you have to do is find the list of users on the right side, click on the ••• menu next to your name, then click “change username”.

how do I have a link to join while asking for username.

When using the Zoom Web Client, you can insert your username:

https://zoom.us/wc/{{ meetindID }}/join

Also, how do I have a link which auto enters the name for me like

You can also preset a username with the Zoom Web Client:

https://zoom.us/wc/{{ meetindID }}/join?prefer=1&un={{ base64Encoded Name }}

Also thanks for your help @Jonathan for sharing how to change your Zoom username within the app

Thanks,
Tommy

Thanks but I want to have a preset name in the app.

Hey @samueltkho0331,

Currently this is not possible unless you are logged in. If you are logged into the app, it will automatically use your name.

Thanks
Tommy
