open zoom meeting link with zoom

Post by zivshosh »

Greetings
How do I change firefox so that a zoom meeting link will be opened by zoom and not browser?
do I change in config browser.zoom.x to false?
thank you

Might you have something defined in, about:preferences -> Applications, related to that?
Or a wrong setup/association (in the Windows Registry)?

The about:config preferences you are talking about refer to zooming abilities in Firefox and have no relation to the Zoom program.

On the Windows platform, to make sure that meetings are opened by the Zoom Meeting application rather than the browser, first make sure that Zoom is installed on your computer and properly working (that seems obvious...).

Then in Firefox, open about:preferences –> Applications (as said by TheRube). At the end of the list, make sure that "zoommtg" is set to "Use Zoom Meetings" is selected.

indeed in preferences --> applications zoomtg is set to open zoom meeting
and yet clicking zoom meeting link demands code and passwords and it didn't ask for them before
firefox version: 103.0
zoom version: 15.1.3
thank you
ps. when I tried zoom meeting link from another browser I was asked to choose web or zoom
