"zoommtg"-links are blocked (in Edge)

L30N · ‎2023-05-02

Hi everyone,

perhaps one of you can help me.

I have the following problem with Zoom. I receive an invitation link and would like to open it in the Edge browser. The error message says "zoommtg" links are blocked.

Regarding the Edge configuration:

all websites are blocked for Edge via ADMX template
the following websites are whitelisted or have been tested: "zoom.us, *.zoom.us, zoom.de, zoom.eu, http://zoom.us, https://zoom.us, zoomapp.cloud, /downloads"

How can I best whitelist Zoom so that the error no longer occurs in the Edge browser?

Best regards,

Leon

Hi, Leon.

I would recommend whitelisting the "zoommtg:" URL schema as it is needed to launch the Zoom app from Edge. I would also strongly recommend to involve your IT support team on this.

Hey ZoomZoom,

thank you for the quick response!

How do I whitelist the "zoommtg:" URL schema? Unfortunately, the link didn't help me any further...

Best regards,
