Starting zoom meeting via CLI using zak token

All,

Appreciate your help in solving this issue.

I can start zoom meeting via CLI using CLI zoom.exe -url=[URL]

In this [URL] should be having meeting id and password.

But doesn't work with url with zak (zoom access token)

Is there is any way to send this directly to zoom app to startmeeting?

Regards,

sdhananjay

@sdhananjay good question, but no, this is not supported. ZAK tokens are intended to be used by the zoom.us browser join process. I'd recommend opening a browser with the token. 

Thanks for quick replay, 

Even when zak link is opened via browser, some processing done in browser and later some info will be send to zoom app via protocol msg (zoommtg://).

which indirectly go to zoom via CLI zoom.exe -url=
