Hi @That-Tech-Guy,

You can use our Web Client as the join\_url without leaving the website by replacing /j/ with /wc/.  
[https://zoom.us/wc/{meetingID}/join](https://zoom.us/wc/%7BmeetingID%7D/join).

If you like to join with having the user type in their names you can base64 their names at the end of the url.  
[https://zoom.us/wc/{meetingID}/join?prefer=1&un={base64-firstname-lastname}](https://zoom.us/wc/%7BmeetingID%7D/join?prefer=1&un=%7Bbase64-firstname-lastname%7D)

Let us know if you have any questions

Thanks
