Thanks!
As a shortcut, I wrapped this into a function and added into .profile:
zoom () { open "zoommtg://zoom.us/join?confno=$1" }

Usage:
zoom 11111111

Typing xdg-open "zoommtg://zoom.us/join?action=join&confno=$meeting_id" works for me.

I added this command for xdg-open to call Zoom for zoommtg:// links :
xdg-mime default Zoom.desktop x-scheme-handler/zoommtg
and this command to verify :
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/zoommtg
