Hello. I saw this forum thread link here. > [@Understanding the start\_url expiry time](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/understanding-the-start-url-expiry-time/61797): > > Description The documentation says: A meeting’s start\_url value is the URL a host or an alternative host can use to start a meeting. The expiration time for the start\_url value is two hours for all regular users. When does the 2 hour time start? From meeting creation? Or meeting start time? How can I modify it to be longer? I am assuming that I will create and use a meeting (type=2) scheduled in the API… Is there a 2 hour expiry time constraint? > The meeting will expire two hours after it is created. It is not that this specification is not for scheduled meetings (type=2), but only for INSTANT meetings (type=1), right? (I want to create a schedule meeting in a month, a year, etc.) We use the Business and Enterprise subscription plans. ---

Additional Confirmation For users attending the meeting The join\_url of the scheduled meeting created by the API is We are aware that there is no time limit on this. ---

Hi, @k_ishii, Thank you for posting in the Zoom Developer Forum. Can you share if you have reviewed our _Make Changes to a Scheduled Zoom Meeting_ support documentation? If not, I wanted to share several important notes regarding Meeting IDs. To learn more about how meeting ID expiration is handled, see our help documentation [here](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201362503-Make-Changes-to-a-Scheduled-Zoom-Meeting#:~:text=You%20can%20start%20your%20meeting,started%20on%20the%20last%20occurrence.) - You can start your meeting at any time after you scheduled it. - Non-recurring meeting ID will expire **30 days** after the meeting is scheduled for or last started. You can also re-start the same meeting ID within 30 days. - A recurring meeting ID will expire **365 days** after the meeting is started on the last occurrence. You can re-use the meeting ID for future occurrences. Let me know if this helps to answer your question or if you have further clarifications. Best, Donte ---
