Option starting desktop client in background, i.e. minimized to sys-tray and without splash screen!

Hi,

is there... or can we please get a config or command-line option to start zoom minimized to the system tray? I would like to put it in autostart and pre-load it, for eventual later calls, but it is pretty annoying to be interrupted by the splash-screen and having to minimize/close the window.

 

Thanks,
Jan

Same problem here.

Auto-start works fine but I have to close it manually.

Command line option to start it minimized would be very helpful!

 

Thanks

Same here.
Found a great bash script on Superuser.com, maybe useful for the implementation team as a starting point
