App pinning for video conferences

1. A method comprising: receiving, by a video conference provider, a request to schedule a video conference, where the request comprises meeting information and information associated with a suggested application;

generating, by the video conference provider a meeting link, the meeting link based on the meeting information and the information associated with the suggested application; and

transmitting, by the video conference provider and to one or more client devices, the meeting link, the meeting link configured to cause a video conferencing application to be executed, and the video conferencing application to launch the suggested application.

2. The method of claim 1 , where the meeting link comprises information causing the suggested application to be opened to a specific location.

3. The method of claim 1 , where the meeting link directs the video conferencing application to download and install the suggested application.

4. The method of claim 1 where the meeting link comprises a Uniform Resource Locator.

5. The method of claim 2 , where the specific location is characterized by a previous state of the suggested application.

6. The method of claim 1 , where the meeting link is further configured to cause an open prompt to be generated.

7. The method of claim 1 , where generating the meeting link further comprises:

encoding, by the video conference provider, a unique meeting ID, a meeting passcode, and the information associated with the suggested application;

receiving, by the video conference provider, credentials from the client device;

determining, by the video conference provider, that the credentials are valid for the video conference and the suggested application; and

transmitting, by the video conference provider, and to the client device, an approval signal.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-readable instructions configured to be executed by a processor, that when executed cause the processor to:

receive, by a video conference provider, a request to schedule a video conference, where the request comprises meeting information and information associated with a suggested application;

generate, by the video conference provider, a meeting link, the meeting link based on the meeting information and the information associated with the suggested application; and

transmit, by the video conference provider, and to one or more client devices, the meeting link, the meeting link configured to cause a video conferencing application to be executed, and the video conferencing application to launch the suggested application.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , where the meeting link comprises information causing the suggested application to be opened to a specific location.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , where the meeting link directs the video conferencing application to download and install the suggested application.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , where the meeting link comprises a Uniform Resource Locator.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , where the specific location is characterized by a previous state of the suggested application.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , where the meeting link is further configured to cause an open prompt to be generated.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , where the instructions further cause the processor to:

encode, by the video conference provider, a unique meeting ID, a meeting passcode, and the information associated with the suggested application;

receive, by the video conference provider, credentials from the client device;

determine, by the video conference provider, that the credentials are valid for the video conference and the suggested application; and

transmit, by the video conference provider, and to the client device, an approval signal.

15. A system comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable medium, the processor configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:

receive, by a video conference provider, a request to schedule a video conference, where the request comprises meeting information and information associated with a suggested application;

generate, by the video conference provider, a meeting link, the meeting link based on the meeting information and the information associated with the suggested application; and

transmit, by the video conference provider, and to one or more client devices, the meeting link, the meeting link configured to cause a video conferencing application to be executed, and the video conferencing application to launch the suggested application.

16. The system of claim 15 , where the meeting link comprises information causing the suggested application to be opened to a specific location.

17. The system of claim 15 , where the meeting link directs the video conferencing application to download and install the suggested application.

18. The system of claim 15 , where the meeting link comprises a Uniform Resource Locator.

19. The system of claim 15 , where the specific location is characterized by a previous state of the suggested application.

20. The system of claim 15 , the processor further configured to execute processor-executable instructions stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium to:

encode, by the video conference provider, a unique meeting ID, a meeting passcode, and the information associated with the suggested application;

receive, by the video conference provider, credentials from the client device;

determine, by the video conference provider, that the credentials are valid for the video conference and the suggested application; and

transmit, by the video conference provider, and to the client device, an approval signal.
