Note: Custom buttons are available only on the Enterprise plan.

Add a Custom Button to Open a URL

Go to Conferfly Room Settings > Additional Buttons.
Click the + Add Button.
To add a URL, ensure it starts with http:// or https://.
You have two options for launching a URL:
- Default: Opens the link in a new tab or window (fullscreen if kiosk mode is enabled).
- Incognito Mode: Opens the link in an Incognito/InPrivate window if the option is toggled on.

Example: Add a custom button to launch Google Drive in an Incognito window

Add a Custom Button to Launch a Native App (Windows)

Step 1: Create a Registry File

Open Notepad (or any text editor).
Paste the following template:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{{app-name}}]
@="URL:{{app-name}} Launch"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{{app-name}}\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{{app-name}}\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\{{app-name}}\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Path\\To\\App.exe\""

{{app-name}}.reg

Whenever you see {{app-name}}, replace it with the desired protocol name (e.g., vlc for VLC media player app). Use one word or hyphenated words.
Replace C:\\Path\\To\\App.exe with the full path to your application. You can find this by right-clicking the app > Properties.
- Important: It’s crucial to escape every backslash (\) and quote (") in the path, just like in the template above.
Save the file as {{app-name}}.reg (e.g., vlc.reg).

Step 2: Add to Windows Registry

Double-click the .reg file.
Confirm the prompt to add it to your Windows Registry.

Step 3: Use in Conferfly

Go to Conferfly Room Settings > Additional Buttons.
Click the + Add Button.
In the URI field, enter: {{app-name}}:// (e.g., vlc://)

Example: Adding a custom button to launch the VLC media player using vlc.reg.
