Hi, Is there a way to expire the start\_url of a meeting, without having to actually delete the meeting? We’d like to have the meeting for later audits, but make sure that the meeting link is invalidated after a threshold of its duration, so that it becomes inaccessible. Thanks, Shankar ---

Hey @shankar.devadoss, thanks for posting and using Zoom! After a meeting has ended, you can still access reports of it via the [dashboard](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/dashboards/dashboardmeetings) and [report](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/reports/reportmeetings) endpoints. Thanks, Tommy ---

@tommy : Thanks for the note on the reports. We’d like to expire the meeting link (start\_url), so that it can’t be accessed to start the meeting again, after the meeting’s duration. We create meetings for each day, and would like to know if we can invalidate a meeting link the next day. ---

Hey @shankar.devadoss, Shortly after the meeting ends, and after the end time of the scheduled meeting, the start\_url will be invalidated and no longer work. Thanks, Tommy ---

I see your reply. There are persons logging into meetings that past 5 days ago. So I am not sure that the meetings link actually expires shortly after ---

Hey @dmarson, Make sure the meeting links are not personal meeting IDs. Also if you want, you can [delete the meetings](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingdelete) after they happen instead of waiting for them to expire. Thanks, Tommy ---
