Meeting Event Links

[rlshumpert]

I created a zoom meeting using the Windows desktop app.  I copied the meeting link and posted into a LinkedIn post.  I opened the meeting from the desktop app.  People joining the meeting opened the link from the link posted on Linkedin.  No one joined the meeting I opened from windows. One person went to the web and entered the meeting id & password.  Question:  if the link is the same, I should be able to open from windows and have people join from the web or directly from the linkedin link.  Is that right?  If yes, it didn't happen.  Please provide some insight.
