Enabling or disabling Show a "Join from your browser" link
Account owners and admins can enable or disable the Show a "Join from your browser" link setting in the Zoom web portal. When this setting is enabled, participants who are unable to install the Zoom Workplace app on their device can join a meeting or webinar using the Zoom web app on their web browser.
The Join from your browser link will appear after the user clicks the link to join the meeting. You can automatically include a Join from your browser link or you can require participants to attempt to download Zoom first. Once the participant clicks Join from your browser, they will be prompted to enter their name, and then they can join the meeting.
