Enabling or disabling Show a “Join from your browser” link in zoom app

Zoom’s web client can be downloaded onto a desktop web browser by participants who do not have Zoom installed on their system in order to join a Zoom meeting or webinar. In terms of functionality, Zoom’s web client only offers a limited range of options.

After the user clicks the link to join the meeting, the Join from your browser link will appear on the screen. The Join from your browser link can be automatically added to the invitation or you can require participants to download Zoom first before being able to join the webinar.

If the participant wishes to join, they can do so by clicking Join from their browser. Once they have entered their name, they will be prompted to join the meeting and then they will be able to participate.

Notes:

• For the Join from your browser link to appear for participants, the meeting host must have E2EE disabled on their computer.

• As a general rule, Zoom clients do not require participants to sign in to their Zoom accounts in order to join through the web client. However, the host can require authentication for guests to join.
