In July 2024, Telegram introduced a new feature – an integrated browser within the messenger, enabling users to open links from chats without using other browsers.
As a result, TrueConf users on iOS and Android may encounter some difficulties. Specifically, they may be unable to join a conference via the TrueConf app directly from a Telegram link, as the internal browser does not support links of this format. However, users can still join the conference through a browser either as a guest or by logging in.
To avoid this issue, we recommend using one of the three methods below:
- Copy the conference link received in the messenger and paste it into the search bar of the TrueConf app, then press the call button.
- Copy the conference link received in the messenger and open it using the address bar of any other browser installed on your device.
- Turn off Telegram’s in-app browser as the default method for opening links.
