Hello,
Is there a  way to implement the following scenarios :
 
   1. Directly open web client / Zoom client without giving choice for the user

   2. Do not prompt for username though the user is not logged into zoom. Use the username from the URL.

Hello @SandhyaK these are great questions, some information below:
1. Directly open web client / Zoom client without giving choice for the user
- When the webinar is scheduled it will have a link similar to this: "https://yourzoomvanityname.zoom.us/j/55555555555?pwd=aWU0QVVrVmJ5dmRQWFZPR2Q4ZXdXUT09" which by default will open a browser tab and try to launch the Zoom client, injecting the passcode for the webinar automatically.  However, with a different link you can bypass the attempt to launch the Zoom client and take users directly to the web join page. Before sending the link to attendees, modify the link to be similar to this:
"https://yourzoomvanityname.zoom.us/wc/join/55555555555?pwd=aWU0QVVrVmJ5dmRQWFZPR2Q4ZXdXUT09" where you leave the majority of the information but just change the "j" to "wc/join". Now, when users click that link it will open a browser tab to allow them to enter their name and continue with web client. 
- it is also possible to automate attendee email invites sent by Zoom to only have web join links. This is accomplished by editing the webinar email settings in the Zoom portal, referenced in this support article https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203686335-Customizing-webinar-email-settings. Please note we do recommend having HTML/CSS/FreeMarker formatting knowledge 

2. Do not prompt for username though the user is not logged into zoom. Use the username from the URL.
- when someone registers for a webinar, their first name is used from the URL when joining via web.  If you click the "Remember my name for future meetings" box it should use your name for the next webinar you would join.

This screen is also a pre-join landing page of sorts that allows you to make sure your camera and mic are properly selected before actually joining the webinar.  If you would like to see a different workflow where perhaps a user can bypass this pre-join landing page, we would love to have your input and ideas!

Thanks @jeremyjustin .. Is there any chances to tweak joinUrl in email template?

Sure thing @SandhyaK you can. In the Zoom portal, under Account Management, Webinar Settings

You will see all the different types of emails that Zoom sends and you can edit each one. The nice thing about editing is there is also a "send me a preview" option so that you can see the way invites will show up for users.  And also a "restore" button when editing in case you just want to restore the configuration back to default

One thing to note, if your webinar is configured to send reminder/follow up emails to attendees, you will also want to make sure to edit these emails so that the proper URL goes out. 

 

Does that help? Please feel free to mark "Accept as Solution" if so. Thanks!
