Use this API to create a meeting for a user. For user-level apps, pass the me value instead of the userId parameter.
  • A meeting’s start_url value is the URL a host or an alternative host can use to start a meeting. The expiration time for the start_url value is two hours for all regular users.
  • For custCreate meeting hosts (users created with the custCreate parameter via the Create users API), the expiration time of the start_url parameter is 90 days from the generation of the start_url. Note: For security reasons, the recommended way to programmatically (after expiry) get the updated start_url value is to call the Get a meeting API. Refer to the start_url value in the response. Scopes: meeting:write:admin, meeting:write Rate Limit Label: Medium
  • This API has a daily rate limit of 100 requests per day. The rate limit is applied against the userId of the meeting host used to make the request.
