Zoom Join meeting in Zoom APP only from WEB

API and Webhooks
1

Description
Hello forum
I have the Join Class button on my website.
Currently it is set up in such a way that the meeting id is set up in my database and my program redirects the user to us04web.zoom.us/j/ after that the meeting id variable.
But i know this is unprofessional.
I searched a lot and found the Zoom SDK but I dont want the web client sdk on my website i want that from my website it opens zoom app or whatever is with customer
I use Zoom API to create meeting which gives me back the details.
But there is nothing like Join Meeting in the API which joins on users app and all whatever you have.
Every teacher has a different zoom account. Not multiple users in one account.
Now tell me what should i do to join class, continue with the same thing to redirect user or something else, please tell

Error
Zoom SDK launches meeting on my server not on zoom app or zoom web client which takes up my server bandwidth and zoom sdk doesn’t work in some browsers and mobile phones

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
I don’t know much but i created a JWT app and got credentials

Which Endpoint/s?
No

How To Reproduce (If applicable)
Idk
Screenshots (If applicable)
No
Additional context
please help

Hey @vivaanmathur2,

The join_url will open the Zoom App, some browsers will require the user to confirm to open the app.

You can also use the Zoom Client Url Schemes which open the app directly, if they have it installed:

Thanks,

Dear Tommy,
That part is ok… The client URL schemes…
sadly I cant be using them because it would be really difficult to detect what platform the person is using and install zoom app.
Currently what my redirection software does is
“https://us04web.zoom.us/j/” + meetingid variable + “&uname=” + username variable + “&uuid=” + userid variable + “&pwd=” + password variable.

It is working perfect but the problem we are facing is the password.
We cant embed normal password in the link because their hash is generated in backend servers so we cant read them.
The reason i am not using client url schemes… is that we have a hard time making the program that detects os and all that… us04web/j is already built so perfectly it does everything on its own. Isnt there some other way?

Please use the start_url and join_url to open the Zoom Client App and start a meeting or webinar. :slight_smile:

You can get these values from our APIs:
