I have a general and a specific question about the zoom url schemes.

General question:  
The documentation for the url schemes seems to have moved, and I can’t find it’s new location. I see older posts pointing to it here ([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/guides/client-url-schemes](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/guides/client-url-schemes)), but it no longer is there. Could you point me to the new location?

Specific question:  
I am obtaining invite\_links for each meeting invitee with their personal display name via the rest API. These links have a ‘wp’ query string parameter, presumably with the user specific information. These links are https: links not suitable for launching zoom from within a mobile app. So I need to reformat them to zoomus: or zoommtg: urls, which are in a different format. I’ve seen the zoomus: url format described informally in other locations as:

zoomus://zoom.us/join?action=join&confno=NNNNNNNNNNN&pwd=ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

This format works correctly, however, the user joins without their invite\_link display name. I’ve tried adding the ‘wp’ parameter from the original invite\_link to the zoomus: link but that doesn’t work.

How do I use the zoomus: url scheme, and also get the custom display name for each user provided by the ‘wp’ parameter in the original invite\_link?

> Hey @videowall, happy to help. I believe the issue is you are not using the rest of the required query params. Try adding the following query params: confno={MeetindID} zc=0 stype=100 uid={hostUserID} token={[tokenFromThisAPICall](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usertoken)} uname=videowall Full url: zoommtg://zoom.us/start?confno={MeetindID}&zc=0&stype=100&uid={hostUserID}&token={[tokenFromThisAPICall](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/usertoken)}&uname=videowall Thanks, Tommy

Yes, that works. Thank you. The uname parameter does the trick. Are all the parameters documented somewhere? I haven’t been able to find it.
