Meeting Links Vs Embedding

The Decision

Use join_url (Meeting Link) When

• You are sending a user to the Zoom client or Zoom web client.
• You do not need embedded UI inside your application.

Use Meeting SDK When

• You must embed a meeting inside your app.
• You need SDK-level control over the experience.

Common Mistakes

• Treating REST join_url as a way to join via SDK.
• Expecting an API endpoint to “join a user to a meeting”.
