How can use the ZOOM Meetings app meetings with the Trigger CMD?

André Ricardo da Costa

Because of the pandemic (COVID-19), the Zoom Meetings app (https://zoom.us/) has been used a lot to hold meetings, courses, training. I use the Zoom app every week, at least twice. Since we have regular meetings, we use the same link every week to hold those meetings. As I use Trigger CDM to connect other programs on my computer, I found a way to connect ZOOM already in the meeting scheduled through the Trigger CMD and Echo Dot (Alexia) In my case I just say: “Alexa, start the meeting ”That Deskop then starts (I use WAKE ON LAN) and then the monitor and the HDMI 2 input (I use the Broadlink RM4 Pro) and with the help of the CMD Trigger program it opens the ZOOM at the scheduled meeting of the day.

Create a shortcut to your zoom exe. It should be in %APPDATA%\Zoom\bin\Zoom.exe
Open the shortcut properties and edit the "Target" field.
Go down after the EXE and add (with the quotes) "--url=zoommtg://zoom.us/join?action=join&confno=<your_conference_number>"
If you have a password, it is hashed so you will need to launch the meeting once in the browser and copy it out. Once you have your hashed password, add &pwd=<hashed_password> after your conference number (with no spaces).

Just an example of what it would look like for you to configure and of course using your computer's settings. In example 1 you can open the meeting directly in the zoom application and using the link with the password embedded in it. For this you will have to make a command using your computer and meeting settings similar to example 1 below and put in “Command” inside the Trigger CMD program.

"C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\bin\Zoom.exe" "--url = zoommtg://zoom.us/join?Action=join&confno=5283605748?Pwd=cjJpeVYxYlVwbXJHU0JIKzZHNXRsZz09”
(These codes you get when you generate a meeting in ZOOM when you include the password in the link)

Or if you want to configure ZOOM using the Chrome browser it will open in the Chrome browser or it will direct you directly to the application and that if the meeting has a password you will have to enter it manually.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\chrome.exe" (After the exe quotes leave a space and then the corresponding address of your meeting) https://jworg.zoom.us/j/91521687498
(These numbers represent your meeting ID)

I hope I can help. Thank you.

Good afternoon, I am trying to do the process which you indicate, but when opening, it only opens the zoom but does not enter the meeting, I do not know if you have any video or could you help me in any way please

Here is a syntax that worked for me in the Target field of the shortcut as discribed above:

%APPDATA%\Zoom\bin\Zoom.exe "--url=zoommtg://zoom.us/join?action=join&confno=123456789&pwd=123456789&zc=0&browseer=Chrome&uname=John Doe"

Mind the space between ... Zoom.exe and "--url=...
Of course: use proper MeetingID and pwd.
