Joining a meeting with the invite link
Last Updated:
You may receive a Zoom meeting invite link through an email, calendar invitation, or directly from the meeting host. The invite link is a web address that includes the meeting ID and can oftentimes include an embedded passcode, allowing participants to join more quickly. When you join a meeting by clicking the invite link, your web browser will open, display a message that the meeting will open in the Zoom app, and display a dialog box to launch the Zoom application on your device.
