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 prefer a web browser experience or 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.

When enabled, the Join from your browser link will appear after the user clicks the link to join the meeting. However, you can disable the setting and require participants to attempt to download the Zoom Workplace app first, before giving them the option to join via the Web app. Once the participant clicks Join from your browser, they will be prompted to enter their name, and then they can join the meeting.

Starting February 7, 2026, the Show a "Join from your browser" link setting will be enabled by default. If the setting has been disabled and locked prior to the change, it will remain disabled. However, if the setting has been disabled but left unlocked prior to the change, it will be enabled.

Due to this, it is recommended that users review their settings to ensure the feature is disabled and locked if they desire the feature to stay disabled.

Note: If the setting has been disabled but left unlocked after the change, the setting will stay disabled.

Note: The meeting host must have end-to-end encryption (E2EE) disabled for the Join from your browser link to display for participants.
