this is the windows registry: registry imag you can see the windows registry by typing reg in windows search. there open the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT" by clicking the arrow next to it, and then look for "zoommtg", and you will get working example that you can examine!

I don't understand how this works. How I can call created URI from js? For example, I tried to call Zoom URI and it does not work. – Илья Кузьмич Jul 08 '20 at 12:40

you can run it from js if it was created let us say when you installed zoom app for example! as far as i know you can not write to the registry from browser js. in the past you could but it is not supported anymore. – David Peer Jul 09 '20 at 10:46
