Open Zoom links in the app
Paste a Zoom URL and get a link that opens the Zoom app instead of the browser — with a web fallback for everyone else.
Free forever. No login. Works with zoom.us links.
Which Zoom links work
toThe.App recognises links on zoom.us, *.zoom.us. These URL shapes are handled:
- https://zoom.us/j/MEETING_ID
- https://COMPANY.zoom.us/j/MEETING_ID?pwd=PASSCODE
On iPhone
Meeting URLs open the Zoom app and join the meeting, carrying the meeting ID and passcode across.
On Android
Handled the same way as on iPhone: the Zoom app opens directly when it is installed.
Known limitations
No link can force a phone to open an app. These are the cases where a Zoom link falls back to the web:
- Passcodes in the query string are preserved, which means anyone with the link can join — share carefully.
- Meetings that have not started open the app on a waiting screen.
- Webinar and registration URLs are not covered.
Questions
How do I make a Zoom link open in the app?
Paste the Zoom URL into the generator above and select Make short link. Share the result. On a phone with Zoom installed, the link offers to open the app; otherwise it continues to the Zoom website.
Which Zoom URLs are supported?
Links on zoom.us, *.zoom.us are recognised. Typical shapes: https://zoom.us/j/MEETING_ID · https://COMPANY.zoom.us/j/MEETING_ID?pwd=PASSCODE.
What happens on iPhone?
Meeting URLs open the Zoom app and join the meeting, carrying the meeting ID and passcode across.
What happens on Android?
Handled the same way as on iPhone: the Zoom app opens directly when it is installed.
Why did the Zoom app not open?
The device makes the final call. Common reasons: the app is not installed, the specific URL type is not covered (Passcodes in the query string are preserved, which means anyone with the link can join — share carefully.), or the link was tapped inside another app's in-app browser, which will not hand off to a native app. The web fallback always works.
