Hey @Ammulekshmi_Ratheesh, happy to help!

Duration is the length of the meeting.

I believe the total_minutes is the total length in minutes each participant was in the meeting for. I will confirm this.

Thanks,
Tommy

I have been using a very similar call that extracts these variables
I can confirm that duration is the length of the meeting and total_minutes is the sum of minutes from all participants in the meeting

Hey @Ammulekshmi_Ratheesh, please see the post above. We will also make this more clear on our docs.

Thanks,
