Standardly a url address for a Zoom meeting contains /j/. If you change it to /wc/join/ you can still enter, and enter straight from browser without having to use the app.
This works with the address ending with the meeting number. Some places send out addresses with an inbuilt password section added on, “?pwd=…”, and that disappears too when using /wc/join/. But that is not the case here: your link is in the simple form ending in the meeting numbers. So folks can simply change the /j/ to /wc/join/ in that link, and still enter.
Here is why. When you use any link in the form with /j/, Zoom tries to force you to download the app unless you have already. Though officially the app is not supposed to be essential, with a /j/ link you never get into the meeting without the app, you get nothing but directions for downloading it. But not everyone can download it. Tablets and older computers often can’t. So folks can be unable to use Zoom, unfairly socially excluding in this Covid time, unless they have learned about or discovered /wc/join/. Using the address in its form with /wc/join/ instead of /j/, you instantly go to meeting login + you get no bother about the app at all !
Zoom itself has not chosen to publicise it – it wants to make everyone download the app even if they have to buy new computers. But this /wc/join/ trick is the truth behind the claim that you don’t need the app to use Zoom. It is a perfectly public fact once you find it. It needs making wider known and telling to everyone needing to access a Zoom meeting, because some folks need it!
Later discovery NB – This does not work for a tightly private preregistered type of Zoom meetings that can only be attended using a Zoom membership and advance registered place. They have no /j/ address. It only works for the more usual type of Zoom meetings that you are given a URL address to enter by.
