# Open Zoom apps from your native or web apps

<!-- WARNING: THIS FILE WAS AUTOGENERATED! DO NOT EDIT! -->

You can use Zoom's deep links to enable users to smoothly transition from working in their native or web apps to collaborating in Zoom meetings.

The diagram illustrates a scenario of a user working on a project in your native or web app. The deep link URL is embedded as a button, enabling the user to transition the project to the Zoom desktop client to collaborate with other participants during a meeting.

-   Open your app's overview page in the Zoom desktop client outside of meetings.

## Requirements

-   You have published your app in the Zoom Marketplace.
-   Your users have added your app to their Zoom account. (If they don't have the app installed, Zoom opens the app overview page.)
