Hi @nitintechhead  
The start\_url contains a ZAK token which basically contains the identity of the user.  
The start\_url value of the meeting is valid for 2 hours for regular users and 90 days for API usersand you need to generate a new [ZAK token](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/apis/#operation/userToken) after the old one expires or call the GET meeting API again.
