Is there anyway, in just one call, to create a meeting as a host, start it and invite other persons to my meeting without use of the zoom client application? 1. userX:click a button a meeting is created and started 2. userX invite some one else userY to the call 3. userY accept and join the call Thank you ---

Hey @sana86, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. If you want someone to join your meeting without installing the Zoom app, you can send them a join link for the Web Client. Please see the following forum post for more information: > [@Launch Zoom Client from browser without redirect?](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/launch-zoom-client-from-browser-without-redirect/9304/2): > > 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 If you want to embed the power of the Zoom Web Client in your website, you can use the [Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web#zoom-web-sdk) but you will want to create your own URL system with that. Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max ---

Hey @sana86, Yes, that is possible. You would want to create a Start URL or Join URL that links to our Web Client. When a user clicks that link, it will open the meeting in their web browser instead of the Zoom App. Please see my previous post for steps on creating a URL that allows a user to join from their browser. Make sure that you’ve also enabled the [Join From Your Browser link](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115005666383-Show-a-Join-from-your-browser-Link). I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Max ---
