Hi, could you pls help me. I would like participants of my meeting to join via browser without having to face the automatic download of the zoom client. How can I disable this automatic download?

Hi @Fabian 

Here is a trick you can use to have your participants always go straight to the web client, instead of checking for the desktop client first. Instead of using the normal link for your meetings (https://zoom.us/j/5555555555) , change it to (https://zoom.us/wc/join/555555555 ). The "wc/join" portion specifies that you want to join via the web client. There is no way to force this automatically within Zoom, but this is a nice workaround. 

 

Hope that helps and please make sure to mark the solution as accepted if this information is what you needed.
