I would love to be able to somehow leverage Zoom to provide chat and facilitate voice/video calls among our logged in users, accessible via javascript widget we could install on every web page. Basically a popup pane with all or most of the features available in the Zoom desktop app.

Alternatively, a widget that displays a notification for unread chat messages, with a way to launch the Zoom desktop app from the widget.

Any suggestions if or how this might be accomplished?

Hey @gbeber,

For embeding Zoom meetings in your app you can use our [JavaScript Web SDK](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/Web-Client-SDK/overview) or the [iFrame method](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/embed-zoom-video-to-a-web-server/2882/25).

For Chat functionality, we do not have Chat Notification [Webhooks](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference) yet, but we do have [Chat APIs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/chat-messages/getchatmessages).

For opening the Zoom Desktop App from the widget:

> Oh oh oh! Thank you. For others, the proper form appears to be: zoomus://zoom.us/join?action=join&confno={ZOOM\_MEETING\_ID}

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks,  
Tommy
