Subject: Re: start zoom from command line
Thanks.  I tried using the instructions there to connect to the test
meeting at
https://zoom.us/j/94780156957?pwd=SWx1WHNJcjVNUndjV2pxTkNseEQ0UT09.
Here's what I entered:

$ zoom launch
--url=zoommtg://zoom.us/j/94780156957?pwd=SWx1WHNJcjVNUndjV2pxTkNseEQ0UT09
ERROR: "zoom launch" was called with arguments
["--url=zoommtg://zoom.us/j/94780156957?pwd=SWx1WHNJcjVNUndjV2pxTkNseEQ0UT09"]
Usage: "zoom launch"

Then it put me back at the command prompt.  I looked again at the
instructions to see if I missed something.  I missed where it said to
include the quotes.  so I tried that:

$ zoom launch
"--url=zoommtg://zoom.us/j/94780156957?pwd=SWx1WHNJcjVNUndjV2pxTkNseEQ0UT09"
ERROR: "zoom launch" was called with arguments
["--url=zoommtg://zoom.us/j/94780156957?pwd=SWx1WHNJcjVNUndjV2pxTkNseEQ0UT09"]
Usage: "zoom launch"
