The new feature announced below for adding video to waiting rooms sounds very useful and a number of my clients will no doubt want to use this. I cannot see how this can be set using the Create Meeting API though. Is this facility available yet? If not, is there a timeline for when it may become so?

You can enable the Waiting Room feature via API upon meeting creation but not set up sounds or video via API. We do not have an ETA for this feature yet but feel free to keep an eye on our Changelog for upcoming updates to our API:
