The Zoom app does open, but it doesn’t open the meetings. However, if I in the URL change start to join then it finds the meeting, but is then waiting for the host (me) to start the meeting. If I start the same meeting from the desktop (same Zoom account) then I’m admitted to the meeting in the mobile Zoom app.
So it seems that join works:
zoomus://zoom.us/join?confno=123456789&pwd=xxxx
while start doesn’t work:
zoomus://zoom.us/start?confno=123456789&pwd=xxxx
I used the same conference number and password in both URLs.
Do I need to provide additional arguments in the start link?
It looks like you’re working with client url schemes, which I should note that we aren’t supporting for the time being. (External support for direct client URLs has been removed, which means we don’t provide an out-of-the-box method for directly starting a meeting via URL and bypassing the browser).
We hope to support this kind of direct click to open functionality again in the near future, but we recommend using the start_url and join_url provided by our APIs for the time being.
I hope this helps to clarify, but let me know if you still have questions.
We’re working on improving the flow for directing users directly to the Zoom client and are encouraging developers to pass any participant data to meetings via registration for the time being. As we re-evaluate the best way to support Client URL Schemes going forward, we’ve stopped officially supporting them in the interim so that we can be sure to provide the best experience possible.
