**Description**  
Looking into how we make a native zoom link (zoommtg://) on our end, so users don’t need to go to the web page. Found the magic param is `confid` that has base64 encoded `utid`, `uss` and `tid`. Now, can’t seem to find how to get these from the Zoom API.

**Error**  
Can’t find the endpoints we need to hit

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
OAuth

Would appreciate any pointers or connections to someone who might know more. Thank you!

Hey @nikhilgupta,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Unfortunately, the [Client URL Schemes are Deprecated](https://medium.com/zoom-developer-blog/zoom-url-schemes-748b95fd9205). Instead, you’ll want to provide users with a join\_url.

Thanks,  
Max

Hey @MaxM, thanks for your response! When you say join\_url, it’ll take them to a web page, right?

So, there is no workaround to allow the users to be able to skip the web page step?

Hey @nikhilgupta,

That’s correct, we don’t have a method to skip the Zoom landing page when using the join\_url. If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category.

Thanks,  
Max
