How can we get meeting id using API/SDK when a meeting starts?

Question

Hi everyone.

Is there a way to get meeting ID, VideoTeleconferenceID, or joinWebUrl using API/SDK, if we do not know it?

There is a createorget method, however, we need to know the id to get the object, so this is not helpful.

What we would like to achieve is to get meeting ID, VideoTeleconferenceID, or joinWebUrl when a meeting starts.

Maybe there is a way to list all active meetings with their ids in our organization?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

There doesn't seem to any API/SDK available to get Meeting ID, Video Teleconference ID when a meeting starts.
However you can get change notifications for Changes to all events in a user's mailbox by subscribing to /users/{id}/events resource.

Hi Prasad,

Thank you for your quick response.

Yeah, we can subscribe to the events, but they are delivered in a best-effort manner, so they are not 100% reliable.
This is very unfortunate that we can not get a meeting id unless we create the meeting.

Best regards,
Nick
