Hey @sameera,

It looks like the reason that the meeting status is “waiting” is that the meeting is not scheduled to start until tomorrow. We can confirm this by looking at the start\_time field in the response. Once the meeting starts, the status will change.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,  
Max
