Disable redirect if meeting not yet started

    Thanks for a great plugin!
    With a meeting embedded in the browser window, if a user joins before the meeting has started they get the “Joining meeting timeout. Meeting is not started” box. Clicking the OK button will redirect the iFrame to the home page, effectively locking them out of joining the meeting later as the Join form is lost. Is there a way to disable the redirect so that effectively the OK button behaves in the same way as the Retry button in this situation?

    Please use below filter hook to do so.

    add_filter('vczapi_api_redirect_join_browser', function() { return 'https://yoursiteurl.com/page'; });

    Replace https://yoursiteurl.com/page with the page you want your user to be redirected.

    Thanks for your advice, I did try using that filter hook before posting my question but the issue is that the redirected page appears inside the Zoom iframe on the current page rather than just going to the redirect page which is what I’d normally expect a redirect to do.

    Hi, in the end what is the solution? I have failed to prevent the OK button from redirecting the iframe. Is there any way to remove the OK button? This can be another solution.

    Would you share how you fixed it please? I am having exactly the same problem with the OK button, and the given filter hook does not do the trick.
    Thank you for your help.

    I think @j_3rk may have marked the thread as resolved when he suggested the filter hook approach. I’m not currently using the plugin but I worked around the problem using the same approach as @darkladen – I used CSS to hide the OK button. This was fine for my purposes, but I realise it may not work for everyone.

    Many thanks for your message @charliemcf and for your time.
    I finally decided to go for the zoom_api_link option. The users can have access from their browsers as well and the OK button behaves well now -as there is not an iframe in the home page but another full window-.
    Best regards.

    That’s a good option – I’m guessing the OK button redirect function was written for the api link option in which case it works exactly as it should, but needs to be updated to work with the embedded iframe approach. I had to use the embedded iframe approach for my application so my only real option was to hide the OK button.
