Create onlineMeeting

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Create an online meeting on behalf of a user.

Tip

  • This API creates a standalone meeting that isn't associated with any event on the user's calendar; therefore, meetings created via this API aren't shown on the user's calendar.
  • This API doesn't create a Teams live event.
  • To be able to retrieve meeting transcripts at a later stage, use the Create event API that is calendar-backed.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.

Global service US Government L4 US Government L5 (DOD) China operated by 21Vianet
