有没有办法混淆/隐藏缩放会议 URL 链接？

Question

Simple question.

As with anyone at this time (in 2020-2021) is concerned, online conference meetings are the norm. I did some research on the Zoom API, and was wondering if anyone has a solution on obfuscating the zoom meeting URL so that the meeting will still launch but the url is hidden or scrambled? For the audience, consider the lowest common denominators (adapt

Physical features such as:

• elongating the URL with some useful (and not so useful) URL params to make it physically difficult to know what is important or not
• chromeless window (is that even supported in web browsers anymore?) using native JS
• hiding the URL via setting up the app as a PWA (however, we cannot think of a solution that overcomes the "user has to install the PWA" first)
• hiding the address bar onload of a new window
• taking advantage of a feature (if available) in the Zoom API SDK.

We simply want to launch zoom, in a browser, without the url being seen.

Appreciate any thoughts, approaches, and comments. thanks!

I'd say, use the ways Zoom provides to help keep a meeting private: passwords.

You can deactivate the option to have the password embedded in URL, while still not making it hard for people to join: have the list of participant not need a password.

This way is probably solving your issue: the URL is now not enough to join the meeting, effectively protecting a bit against somehow from getting the link somehow ("peering over the shoulder" as you mentioned in comments) and trying to join sneakily.

Here is some screenshot of Zoom meeting settings with, on the left, the option you should probably set up. (copied from this article from zdnet )

If you need to change who has access to the meetings, then modify the list of participants, and optionally change the password (that you probably haven't given in the first place).
