Ideal solution would be to display a timer until end of meeting, but this is not something supported and I don’t think there are any plans to add that to Zoom client apps? In the previous discussion, the the closest …

I see an API to delete a message but none for sending one.

Do we have an idea on when will this be available considering the requests have been there since 2019 and it is 2023 now?

Hi @sashifiqbal , meeting bots are a hot topic! While Zoom does not have official support yet for meeting bots, here are some options:
