The issue you are facing:

Hello Talk friends,

if I receive an invitation from another user I receive a meeting link p.e. https://talk.example.com/call/ABC123

Now I’ve written a wrapper script that finds out that I want to join a meeting and sends this link after a click in thunderbird to my installed Talk app.

The Talk app opens, but it stays on “start page” and does not open the call ABC123.

Does anybody knows if it is possible to send the Talk AppImage app an url to a meeting?

The command I use is

flatpak run com.nextcloud.talk --url "https://talk.example.com/call/ABC123"

Best regards

Tino
