Enabling or disabling Show a “Join from your browser” link

The Zoom web client can be used on desktop computers or laptops by participants who are not able to install the Zoom software on their computer. Zoom web access does not offer all of the functionality that the Zoom software offers.

Clicking on the link to participate in the meeting will result in the Join from your browser link appearing. There are two ways you can do this-either you can automatically notify participants that they can join from their browser or you can require them to download Zoom first.

Clicking Join from the participant’s browser will allow them to participate. When they are asked for their names, they will then be able to join the meeting.

Notes:

• For participants to be able to see the Join from your browser link, the meeting host must have E2EE disabled.
• It is default that Zoom participants joining via the web client will not require them to be logged in to their Zoom account, however the host may require them to do so.
