Hi @tpkroom01 ,

Did you mean `start_url`? That is the variable with 2 hr expiration from creation via API for non-recurring meetings. See below for guidance:

> Hi @waqqas.shafique Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum, I am happy to help here! The “start\_url” will expire 2 hours after the creation of the meeting. If you want to get an updated value for the expired “start\_url” you can retrieve it by making a call to the [Get a Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting). You can not modify it to make it longer but you can retrieve a new one by calling Get a Meeting API. I hope that helps! Best, Elisa

Does this help?
