Joining a Zoom Meeting Via a Phone Web Browser

Good day-


I am wondering if anyone knows if Zoom has removed (recently) the ability for a meeting participant to join a Zoom meeting from a smartphone using the web browser on the phone.  I beleive there used to be a link in the phone browser with this option.  I no longer see that option on the browser of a smartphone.  I only see the option to download/install the phone app or join the meeting by phone-only.  I believe the link to join from a web browser is there when I go to the equivaent browser page on a desktop PC.

 

I have a use cases where we want people to join a meeting from their phone but they may or may not know how to download/install the app from an app store.  BTW, the meeting is a Zoom for Government meeting, if that matters.


Thanks,
Rick

Hello @RickWalery 

 

You are right. For gov accounts, Mobile web browsers are not supported. So users will need to download the Zoom App on mobile devices. Please see article here:

If this response helps, please accept the answer as an accepted solution, so others can benefit as well.

Hi @sachinzoom 

 

Thanks for the response.  I did not see anything in that article that mentions the mobile web browswer is no longer support by ZoomGov.  I do agree that seems to be the case.  I am just looking from something from Zoom stating that fact.

 

Thanks,

Rick
